This is one of the many similar bugs to 
http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=344777. It's actually not a 
Nautilus bug, but a bug in swfdec which is being used by gtk (which is 
being used by nautilus) in order to get a thumbnail for the file.

Upgrading from Dapper (6.06) to Edgy (6.10) might help, but otherwise 
the people you need to talk to about this are the upstream swfdec 
project developers. Their website is at http://www.schleef.org/swfdec/, 
and I can't seem to find a good email address for them, but 
http://www.schleef.org/swfdec/dev/ indicates that they can often be 
found at #gstreamer on the FreeNode IRC network.

Hope this helps!
