I updated to the latest Calligra Krita 2.9.10 from Gentoo portage, and 
also added the kde use flag, and one/both of these two actions did the 
trick.

Now digiKam is showing thumbnails for about two-thirds of the Krita .kra 
files. I'll look at the remaining files and see if I can figure out a 
pattern.
