To the best of my knowledge, the Nautilus thumbnailer simply extracts
and displays the thumbnail in the .xcf file, so this would be a Gimp bug.

However, creating an image with two layers and toggling the background,
I cannot reproduce this. This is Gimp 2.2.10.

If you feel it's a genuine bug, please file it. If your Gimp is older,
see if there is a bug against its thumbnail generation that has already
been marked "fixed".
