How is this resoloved in 3.5 if the patch is not included in 3.5.2?

Is there a work-around that I can do w/ apply_filters?

Ok. So, in a fit of heroic coding/forum reading I came across this post:
https://dustyreagan.com/global-page-navigation-accross-wordpress-mu-blogs/

Which led me to make a copy of the wp_nav_menu() function called my_wp_nav_menu in my theme’s function.php file. Then, I found the part where the menu object is most editable, @ line 195, after sorting and before walk_nav_menu_tree(). Added this:

foreach($sorted_menu_items as $val) {
        $title = get_the_post_thumbnail($val->object_id, 'medium') . '<br />' . $val->title;
        $val->title = $title;
        //$val->title .= ' ' . $val->ID;
    }

This results in just what I wanted, a user-adminnable menu with automatic inclusion of thumbnails in only one of the two menus of the theme!

I found one easy way to do it, by simply adding the thumbnail path to the menu label. I like that pretty well, but I don’t think the users will go for it. ??

So, instead of the menu label being:
Something

I made it:
<img src="/path/to/thumb/somethingthumb.png">Something

Anyone got a way to connect wp_nav_menu() to the_post_thumbnail()?

One Super Easy way to do that would be to add a custom link in the menu, https://yourdomain.com/

Zero code.
