Comment (by nicasi):

 At the moment the urls of the images are inserted in the post with the
 dimensions appended (eg ...uploads/example-113x200.jpg) if I'm not
 mistaken. So after an image regeneration the urls with the old dimensions
 are still in the wp_posts table pointing to the old dimensions.

 It might be an idea to decouple this a bit and retrieve the images like
 this: ...uploads/example.jpg?thumb or example.jpg?medium. (The sizes
 should get stored somewhere too. thumb = 200x200, medium = 450x450 etc)
 The images would still be regenerated but the front side would
 automatically reflect the new image sizes after regeneration without
 needing a complex search and replace in wp_posts.

 Not sure if this is a good or a bad idea...
