I just had a conversation with Saibo on irc. Apparently these thumbs are only
wrong if you're browsing from europe. Us north american folks can simulate by
putting 
 91.198.174.234 upload.wikimedia.org
in our etc/hosts.

So my first guess is that HTCP purge packets aren't getting to european squids,
but it gets weirder. If you mangle the url  of the thumb so that it should be a
cache miss (aka put ?foo at the end of the thumb url) I still get the wrong
thumb. My understanding is that an image squid cache miss should come from some
server full of image thumbs, so this should be the same regardless from where
you're accessing. (But I could be mis-interpreting something, I'm not super
familar with how wmf works its servers in different places of the world set
up).

Anyways, here is the HTTP headers of the request that returned the wrong thumb.

Server    nginx/0.7.65
