It is an embedded thumbnail image, used by some image management applications to
save loading that monster main image. Speeds navigation up.

Ignore it. If you have it as a layer, you can safely delete the layer. Otherwise
do not open in the beginning. You can select the 'page' to use in the Gimp tif
import dialogue.
