I think you missed one point ... thumbpdf didn't have real problems,
the problem was that it didn't realize that it is working in
tex mode and not in latex mode.

When running texi2dvi it does NOT call a 
        \RequirePackage{ifluatex}
but if it is running as texi2pdf it calls it, and since we are running
in tex mode (not latex format) this does not work.

I also have the feeling that it comes from the fact that texi2pdf
is run two times, and the second time some cmd line options are 
not properly passed, or something is not properly called ...
*WILD* guessing, though, and no time as I am leaving for Sendai ...

Best wishes
