Pictures in /Pictures/boh are a fresh copy of some (same names) in /Pictures. The old ones have a visible thumbnail, the new ones have a bad thumbnail.

This may not be a nautilus bug.
It seems the bug persists even if I upgrade nautilus from the Gnome Staging PPA to either newer one:

I don't had the problem with an old install from: Ubuntu 17.04 "Zesty Zapus" - Alpha amd64 (20161106)
so I'm trying to give some more info.

I started with:

Ubuntu installed from: Ubuntu 17.04 "Zesty Zapus" - Alpha amd64 (20161106)
NEVER updated:
corrado@corrado-z-nov16:~$ uname -a

corrado@corrado-z-nov16:~$

attached: BeforeUpdates: log .cache .config .local inxi screenshot
thumbnails where created ok - see screenshot

Then I Run apt-get update + upgrade

attached: After1stUpdate: installer Pictures .cache .config .gconf .local varous logs
thumbnails created wrong. see last 2 thumbnails

I restarted, but ubuntu started in low graphic mode. Restarted in emergency mode. Run update + upgrade + dist-upgrade. attached: 2ndUpgrade: varoius logs.

Restart again. now all seems ok BUT thumbnails are wrong.
attached: AfterLastUpgrade: a lot of data. thumbnails wrong for .jpg and .png. Good thumbnail for .tiff

I still have a copy of the old iso: Ubuntu 17.04 "Zesty Zapus" - Alpha amd64 (20161106)
so I may reistall it and produce more doc.
Let my know if You need.

This bug was fixed in the package gdk-pixbuf - 2.36.5-3

---------------
gdk-pixbuf (2.36.5-3) experimental; urgency=medium

  [ Jeremy Bicha ]
  * Add new libgdk-pixbuf2.0-bin package to install thumbnailer
    binary and metadata needed by gnome-desktop 3.23 (LP: #1665602)
  * Have libgdk-pibxuf2.0-0 recommend libgdk-pixbuf2.0-bin
  * debian/rules: Change dh_install's --list-missing to --fail-missing to
    catch this issue sooner next time

  [ Iain Lane ]
  * debian/rules: Don't use -X.la - it's error prone as it does substring
    matching instead of globbing. Instead use `find ... -delete' to remove
    *.la files explicitly.
  * debian/control.*: Update Vcs-* for branch.
