OK, gthumb is working correctly and Nautilus is not.

Perhaps Nautilus is not re-reading the file mtime after it re-schedules 
thumbnailing (during THUMBNAIL_CREATION_DELAY_SECS).

Please file a bug report at 
http://bugzilla.gnome.org/enter_bug.cgi?product=nautilus, under the 
"Thumbnails" component. Please report what version of Nautilus you are 
using.

A link to a sample image and a typical dcraw command (or some other 
"slow" command) should also be reported, to help reproduce the problem.
