So, here is quick fix, run this as root:

printf '#!/usr/bin/perl
system("/usr/bin/thunderbird @ARGV");
' > /usr/local/bin/thunderbird &&
chmod 755 /usr/local/bin/thunderbird &&
chown root:root /usr/local/bin/thunderbird

It just runs thunderbird through perl script (using the fact that
/usr/local/bin is in the left of /usr/bin in PATH). Don't ask me why it
works:).

But there is another bug: if you want send many files at the time, only one 
file appears in the created message. So, I write workaround. Copy thunderbird 
from attachment to /usr/local/bin, chmod 755 and chown root:root it.
This workaround has a little bug, which breaks file names if you enter 
something like "%D0" in recipient field in nautilus-sendto window. But I can't 
imagine a situation you'll need or want this.
