Comment (by westonruter):

 The situation in particular that I had this problem is I created a
 `related` field that links one post to another. This `related` field is an
 integer post ID and its link is added as embeddable. When I made a request
 with `_embed` for the items having related posts, I was unable to obtain
 the `featured_media` via `getFeaturedMedia()` in the Backbone client.

 In other words, if the `post` is hydrated with data that has `_embedded`:

 {{{#!js
 post.getRelatedPost().done( function( relatedPost ){
     relatedPost.getFeaturedMedia(); // => Will always fail.
 } );
 }}}
