I confirm this bug. Nautilus doesn't suffer from this with thumbnails of images. .thumbnails has the thumbnails for your pictures, with the filenames based on the MD5 of some file metadata including the path. If you drag the image to another folder, the thumbnail's MD5 filename is updated to match the new file location.
