Well, I do have turned on the "watch library" option and the image was inside my library path. But shotwell didn't notice the changes after the next start - although my library was scanned.
There also is another strange thumbnail behaviour when I import paired RAW+JPEG photos from any directory: For most photos, shotwell creates the thumbnail using the JPEG file. But in some rare cases the thumbnail is made using the RAW file or rather the embedded JPEG, although there is a developed JPEG as well. If this happens once to a certain photo, it will be the same after deleting and reimporting it.
