posting via wp rest api always returns “You cannot publish without…”

Hi – thanks for the plugin. Unfortunately there seems to be a bug in the following scenario – we create a post via a POST to wp-json/wp/v2/posts, with the following example parameters:

{
	"title": "ne1",
	"content": "hi",
	"status": "publish",
	"featured_media": 89535
}

and the plugin always rejects the POST, returning:

{
  "code": "wp_die",
  "message": "You cannot publish without a featured image.",
  "data": {
    "status": 500
  },
  "additional_errors": []
}

It works fine if we deactivate your plugin, correctly associating the media id with the post so, it shouldn’t be failing validation.

Any thoughts how I can workaround this bug? We use your plugin when posting via the web UI, so would like to keep it active.

Thanks.
