BTW, the problem referenced in the bug report isn't caused by something writing to stdout. There error there is caused by a missing/broken codec, it seems.

The approach is brittle in the sense that any component (e.g., gstreamer or gstreamer plugin) writing to stdout can easily break the thumbnail. We have zero control over stdout and should thus either: (1.) Rely on specifying an explicit temporary destination file or (2.) Open a dedicated communication pipe to communicate back the resulting thumbnail to the calling process. Please also see [2.] for the respective product bug.
