Then I guess the next step would be to determine if it is the collection
scanner which is causing problems or a new bug in digikam caused by changing
images too quickly, thereby killing the exiv2 call somehow?

The temp file created by exiv2 at the point this error occurs is identical to
the original file (same tags) but there is a 0 byte file with the old name.

For instance, if I tag a face in IMG_1679.jpg and switch to a new image
quickly, the drive then has IMG_1679.jpg and IMG_1679.jpg4744, where
IMG_1679.jpg is 0 bytes in size and IMG_1679.jpg4744 is identical to the
original, untagged image. At this point digiKam shows a placeholder for
IMG_1679.jpg, and renaming IMG_1679.jpg4744 to IMG_1679.jpg restores it in
digiKam as expected, albeit with no face tag since it was identical to the
original untagged image.

No data loss, but quite annoying!
