That matches what Ed had called out that it was a GL* command. I guess that also tells you why you did not notice the failing.. given a video file and an png file to output it fails on my system also (and that is with selinux as permissive and as root, so it seems to have many issues and is simply broken in most if not all use cases), and I don't know that I have seen a video thumbnail in a while in gthumb and similar tools. And that tool seems to be very complicated for just creating a thumbnail as it connects to X and pulseaudio and GLX, I am guessing someone took a gui app and made it work to generate one. I sure whoever decided to use this tool only knew about the this way to generate a thumbnail. And the saying goes if the only tool you have is a hammer then everything looks like a nail. For creating a thumbnail ffmpeg and/or mplayer would seem better, but maybe that is not default on the systems. I might see if I can create a script that would get used in gthumb as this tells me why I get no thumbnails.
