Well, Thunar doesn't fail. It calls the latex thumbnailer and is not
responsible for what it does next.

Imho the problem lies in pdflatex or in your document. Try to run the
command from command line and see what happens.

You should be able to disable tex thumbnailer altogether by copying
/usr/share/thumbnailers/tex-thumbnailer.desktop to
.local/share/thumbnailers and edit it (try adding a key NotShowIn=Xfce).
If that doesn't work, try to remove the X-Thumbnailer-Exec key or set
the TryExec key to something which doesn't exist (like
'notexistentcommand').

Cheers,
