I can confirm the apparently crazy behavior that Phil reported. The file from Phil, when put in the home directory, crashes nautilus with the following error (NOTICE: it's a crash in glibc!)

If I put it in a subdir, the thumbnail is not generated, but nautilus do not crash. I can open the svg in eog, it just uses a lot of resources, and so much memory that the system is sluggish after doing it, and need a while to come back to normal behavior.

Error #6 is ENXIO? Invalid device or address?

Evidently the problem is still here, and quite severe too. Put that file in your home dir and a non-technical user will be unable to open Nautilus again.
