I have been able to reproduce this finally with the following steps:

- flash krillin (--bootstrap) with vivid-proposed
- put the broken image in ~/Pictures
- start Gallery
- if not crash, close Gallery, rm -rf .cache/com.ubuntu.gallery/ and go back to 
previous step

After a few tries it crashes. If you install the new packages from silo
19 (as mentioned in the linked branch MR) I can't make the crash happen
any more.

One thing that I did encounter was that when I click on the image in
gallery, it comes up fully black. The thumbnail looks correct, though.
However as far as I understand it Gallery should not use thumbnailer for
displaying full sized images. If that is the case then this is an issue
somewhere else.

Florian, Bill: since you two seem to be the hardest hit by this bug
could you test silo 19? If it works for you then post your results here
so we can get this one landed. Thanks.
