I can reproduce the problem and I have emailed you the file in the past.
The issue may be that my test of a good thumbnail is Adobe Illustrator.
If AI sees the thumbnail, the thumbnail is fine. What is your test?

The two lines that I have added following your example are:

            copy.setViewerPreferences(PdfWriter.PageModeUseThumbs);
            copy.setOutlines(SimpleBookmark.getBookmark(reader));

Now we have identical code, but AI does not see the thumbnail that
exists in the original file, but not in the copy.

The problem with this kind of questions, is that an we may be
talking about a completely different problem. You say it doesn't
work, but if we can't reproduce the problem, we can't help you.

The following code snippet is taken from a Servlet I am using.
The doPost gets a String referring to a resource (an existing
PDF file with thumbnails) and String array with page numbers
(if not an HTML page is returned). The String[] is turned into
a comma separated sequence of page numbers.
PdfReader and PdfCopy are used to return a selection of pages
and the Thumbnails panel is opened because thumbnails are
important in this example. This works for me. I hope it works for you.

    public void makePdf(HttpServletRequest request, HttpServletResponse 
response)
        throws ServletException, IOException {
        try {
            String[] pages = request.getParameterValues("page");
            // take the message from the URL or create default message
            StringBuffer selection = new StringBuffer();
            if (pages.length == 0) {
                response.setContentType("text/html");
                makeHtml(response.getOutputStream(), "You must at least 
choose one!");
                return;
            }
            selection.append(pages[0]);
            for (int i = 1; i < pages.length; i++) {
                selection.append(",");
                selection.append(pages[i]);
            }
            PdfReader reader = new PdfReader(resource);
            reader.selectPages(selection.toString());
            int p = reader.getNumberOfPages();
            Document document = new Document();
            ByteArrayOutputStream baos = new ByteArrayOutputStream();
            PdfCopy copy = new PdfCopy(document, baos);
            document.open();
            for (int i = 0; i < p; ) {
                i++;
                copy.addPage(copy.getImportedPage(reader, i));
            }
            copy.setViewerPreferences(PdfWriter.PageModeUseThumbs);
            copy.setOutlines(SimpleBookmark.getBookmark(reader));
            document.close();

            // setting some response headers
            response.setHeader("Expires", "0");
            response.setHeader("Cache-Control", "must-revalidate, 
post-check=0, pre-check=0");
            response.setHeader("Pragma", "public");
            // setting the content type
            response.setContentType("application/pdf");
            // the contentlength is needed for MSIE!!!
            response.setContentLength(baos.size());
            // write ByteArrayOutputStream to the ServletOutputStream
            ServletOutputStream out = response.getOutputStream();
            baos.writeTo(out);
            out.flush();
        } catch (Exception e) {
            System.out.println("Error in " + getClass().getName() + "\n"

+ e);
            throw(new ServletException(e));
        }
    }
