Some pointers, but not a solution:

The featured image is referenced by _thumbnail_id . It’s not stored in the $post data structure, instead it’s held in the postmeta table.

There are look up functions to get the featured image from the post_id of course, but not sure how efficient these would be… I guess you still have to have to switch to the correct blog (switch_to_blog()), before using the post_id in the 3.0 multisite world?

Maybe I’m taking it off track here
