Comment (by leogermani):

 +1 for this

 hooking in get_%type%_metadata is messy, because you can not easily check
 wether the post has a post thumbnail or not inside your filter, you would
 end up in an endless loop if you call has_post_thumbnail()

 In that case you have to do something like inside your callback:

 $wpdb->get_var("SELECT meta_value FROM $wpdb->postmeta WHERE meta_key =
 '_thumbnail_id' AND post_id = $object_id");

 not really beautiful.
