That's a bug that comes from the gnome-vfs era, check the way eog
deletes images for a workaround using the function mentioned below.
Anyway, in trunk that shouldn't be a problem anymore, as eog migrated to
gio.

Use 

 eog_thumb_view_select_single (thumbview, 
                               EOG_THUMB_VIEW_SELECT_CURRENT);

To reselect the image currently shown. Eitherway, this shouldn't be
necessary.
