Ok, after nothing seemed to work, this is how I actually got it resolves (and if anybody can explain me why this actually worked, I would appreciate it).
Just a guess at this point, but that could have caused what you were seeing.

btw. my 16 gig card keeps on failing. it's there for a couple of hours after inserting and suddenly it just disappeares. It's a ScanDisk class 2. works great everywhere else but in this phone....

remap all your media (gets rid of the broken thumbnails)
tracker-processes -r
Update: posted in a hurry without reading the previous post. Not sure if this will help to solve this problem. But give it a go anyway.

/home/user/.thumbnails/cropped/
just delete all of those
I did a reboot after this, which is not really required since the tracker shoul reindex just by opening the gallery, but I just like to type 'reboot'
hope this helps

It renews the thumbs indeed... thanks for the help. for some reason though i still have one broken thumb at the bottom that did not go away. i cant open it directly either. but when i open the picture before that and slide to that one it opens nicely so i know the picture is not damaged and actually there... any headsup on this one?
by the way im running 1.2 so if any nokia people are reading this... and its a bug in 1.1.1 then ITS STILL IN THERE!
it took 6 minutes to index 536 pictures with thumbs.

Now on to your peoblem. using the file manager, copy (do not move it, but copy) the file from the internal storage to the card or vise versa. Delte the original file afterwards and you should be fine.

I had this same issue and the only fix I found was to actually open the image in something like Photoshop and resave them as a .JPG I noticed that several of my images must have been renamed during their lifetime and not properly saved in that filetype.
To test this take 1 image and do what I mentioned above and resave it to your phone/sd card.
If it's a file format issue you will see the image and the thumbnail with no issues.
