That absolutely fixes it (the revert of 57851607).

This reproducer hits the bug 100% of the time on my Debian Sid GNOME box:

	$ for i in {1..1000}; do \
		dd if=/dev/urandom bs=65536 count=1 status=none | \
		convert -size 256x256 -depth 8 GRAY:- ${i}.png; done
	$ nautilus .

It turns out Nautilus was the trigger: it spawns and destroys containers
in very quick succession to compute each thumbnail in a directory of
images.

Thanks,
