This was a small bug. In fact, it should be all right to share the thumbs db 
(and the main database as well). 
For new schema updates it is fixed by commit 1163986; 
for databases already converted, this is the fix:

DELETE FROM Settings WHERE keyword='DBVersionRequired'; 
INSERT INTO Settings (keyword, value) VALUES ('DBThumbnailsVersionRequired', 1);
