I think this a rather generic problem with image previews. We cache
thumbnails early and often, and thumbnails are still considered valid
for images that can't be read by the user if the file path checksum
matches a thumbnail's name and the mtime of the file hasn't changed. A
fix here would be to flush the thumbnail if we can't read the source
file when we enter the folder, but that might incur performance
penalties. As a work around you could touch the file after changing the
permissions as that would trigger a re-thumbnail, which would generate a
failed thumbnail as the file can't be read. Need to check libgnome and
nautilus upstream to see if this is a known issue, or possibly a
regression from Nautilus 2.20 (Launchpad is going down now, though).
