I can confirm this.

I have a Canon Powershot A510, which used to work fine with F-Spot and Gthumb when I had my previous Ubuntu install.

Today I connected it to my PC, currently using Flight 5, with a USB cable. Gthumb detected it and came up with the dialog “A camera has been detected”. So in Gthumb's import dialog, I chose 'Import', then an error message appeared in the import dialog, “The path 'file:///DCIM/107CANON' is not absolute.”. My photos are downloaded to my harddisk though. When I try to open the imported photos on my hd, Nautilus gives me the following message:

“Cannot open img_0781.jpg

The filename "img_0781.jpg" indicates that this file is of type "JPEG image". The contents of the file indicate that the file is of type "plain text document". If you open this file, the file might present a security risk to your system.

Do not open the file unless you created the file yourself, or received the file from a trusted source. To open the file, rename the file to the correct extension for "plain text document", then open the file normally. Alternatively, use the Open With menu to choose a specific application for the file.”

Also note that the exported photos are 0 bytes in size.

I just tried importing photos from my cam in F-Spot, and F-Spot works fine. And if I'm correct F-Spot also uses libgphoto2, so the problem is probably related to Gthumb.
