as you can see in code from thumbnailtask.cpp:line 84 :

d->catcher->thread()->deleteThumbnail(d->path);

We only delete valid previous file registered in DB. It do not clear all other
dummy entries.

A garbage collector can be a powerful tool to prevent to rebuild all items. but
for each album to process, we can clean all items, including all garbage
entries... this can be most simple to implement. There is no method implemented
in this way currently. Right ?

Note : the real question here is why garbage entries are present in DB. When an
item is removed or disappear, thumb is DB is not removed automatically ?
