Why don't you cut apart your oil filter and see what you find? If it isn't clogged, chances are nothing made it into the oil passages of the engine. So far you just found stuff in the external thermostat & scavenge circuit (checking out the external oil cooler would be useful). Everything in there must go through the filter before it gets to the high pressure side, so if the pressure relief of the filter didn't get used, your internals should be clean.
Edit: Or was it the internal thermostat? In which case you do have an engine full of gunk, and it needs to be taken apart ...
