I've added this to the spec:

-------------------
<title>Re-creating a thumbnail</title>

<para>
If a program re-creates a thumbnail because the existing thumbnail does
not have the correct size, it should keep the original thumbnail, and
add the new thumbnail to the correct directory for its configured size.
</para>

<para>
If the user requests the thumbnail to be re-created, there is no way for
the program to find out why it has to re-create it. The program should, 
therefore, delete all sizes of thumbnails for that image, and create
only the thumbnail for its configured size.
</para>
