Thomas tells me that this reliably happens for any video taken on an M10 or Turbo. Looks like something in gstreamer is indeed writing to stdout. I'll change it to run the pipe via a different file descriptor.

The approach is brittle in the sense that any component (e.g., gstreamer or gstreamer plugin) writing to stdout can easily break the thumbnail. We have zero control over stdout and should thus either: (1.) Rely on specifying an explicit temporary destination file or (2.) Open a dedicated communication pipe to communicate back the resulting thumbnail to the calling process. Please also see [2.] for the respective product bug.
