Comment (by patrickmjones):

 Was about to report this ticket myself.  I can't imagine a good reason to
 depend on trampling over what post types have added support for post-
 thumbnails.  The API is pretty meaningless if calling it breaks the theme
 or other plugins.  The patch will work for me and I thank you for that,
 but in the mean time my plugins can not be distributed (for years). I hope
 a solution can be made - new API functionality, rolling in the patch, etc.
 Thanks again, goodbye.
