I have the same problem and none of the solutions here fixed my problem. I had installed some game from extras-devel and this added about 9000 pictures to my gallery.... i removed the game but now i have 9000 broken thumbnail images in my gallery and the lag is so huge it makes gallery completely useless. And everytime the indexer starts running it almost freezes the phone and runs for 7 to 15 minutes. the only way to make the phone usable again is to kill hildon-thumbnailerd wich is aggressivly thumbnailing non-exsisting pictures (thumbing its own ***)...
Have anyone come up with a working solution yet?

If you delete everything in /home/user/.thumbnails/, it should only recreate thumbnails for images which are present.

I also just found out that when i try to look at the info of the broken thumbnail it found none, but when i try to remove the file it shows the name of the file wich it also states to be read only. The broken thumbnails contain following filenames: mask-castle-w, character-box, scrollleft_transparent-pressed, resize-direction-right, sentinel-defend just to give few examples.. I think the filenames suggest that they indeed are leftowers from some game i have installed and then removed. But when i tried to search those files from my phone i found none.... i tried the teminals search funktion and also manyally searching those files from my folders. Could someone please tell me how to locate those files and remove the broken thumbnails..

This solved my problem:
Delete empty jpeg files from /home/user/.thumbnails/fail/hildon-thumbnail/ and try again
Open X Terminal:
1. Type "cd .thumbnails/fail/" (without quotation)
2. Type "rm -rf hildon-thumbnail" (without quotation)
2. Reboot your n900
