My experience of this bug is that:

- files in my  /home  and other folders located in my root partition (EXT4),
  are shown with everything (thumbnails + metadata)

- files located in other mountpoints (via /etc/fstab, not external drives ~ udisks),
  in particular my  /mnt/files  mountpoint (NTFS via fuseblk, not ntfs3),
  suffer from the limit of remote files size (which I've set to 9999999 MB).
  By setting this limit, thumbnails appear only on files (never on folders) and metadata are never shown.

- files located in external drives (mounted via udisks ~ devices widget) seems unaffected.
