No, \thispagestyle{empty} does not work as expected inside floats. 
I had to encapsulate it in a token list associated with the (full 
page) figure to issue the commands for the page on which the figure 
would be placed.

Try it if you don't believe me. But a look at the definition of
\thispagestyle shows that it uses \global and \gdef, which means
that it will be associated with the next page to be produced by
the output routine, while whole page floats, or page containing 
only floats will always come after.
