The real code uses (when (re-search-forward... nil t)...).

Yes, that's the problem here, so no bug. I was not expecting to need to wrap
the `(apply... )' in `save-match-data'. Usually I can pretty much tell when the
match data gets modified, but I guess I should have looked closer at
`image-dired-get-thumbnail-image'.
