Comment (by joehoyle):

 > Do we want to fix this at all?? This sounds like an example of "garbage
 in, garbage out" to me - and where my views differ from @joehoyle.

 I'm fine with Garbage In, Garbage Out too - I think generally we should
 try to stick to one of these principles. This can make validation harder
 though, what is there is a string in the `_thumbnail_id` field? Personally
 I don't think we should be so worried about those edgecases, but it's
 probably just worth us saying (if we do so think): The rest api will act
 weirdly and have issues if data that can technically be stored in an
 "incorrect" way.
