 Reading the GNOME bug report mentionned by the OP, I think this is
 likely a limitation / bug on what the Gdk pixbuf loader for JPEG wants
 to do in degradated cases.

 Perhaps there's a security/safety limit in what the loader will accept,
 but it would be best to look at the nautilus code to see whether it
 checks the previous gdk_pixbuf_* calls for errors (such as
 gdk_pixbuf_loader_write() for example).
