I don't think it is random... but It seems random because I don't know exactly under what circumstances it is produced. I think spaces have something to do with it.

Thunar differs from nautilus when enconding the file names. Some special chars are not encoded in thunar while nautilus encodes more chars. Then for example if thunar has generated a thumbnail for a file when exploring with nautilus the thumbnail is generated again because it is not recognized since the md5sum is based on a differently encoded URI.
I thought that that could be the cause but I have tested the same file with the thumbnail generated by thunar and nautilus and the problem persist. Maybe I didn't test it correctly...
