You could do a experiment with attribute aliases. As usual - try this in a 
staging environment first, I haven't tested that!

Modify /etc/dirsrv/slapd-EXAMPLE-COM/schema/06inetorgperson.ldif
attributeTypes: ( 0.9.2342.19200300.100.1.60
   NAME 'jpegPhoto'
to
   NAME ('jpegPhoto', 'thumbnailPhoto')

and restart directory server.

Please let us know how it works :-)
