Thanks.  I think your patch should be committed now with two small changes:

1. To make it compatible with other Dired commands, use the interactive
spec (interactive "P") instead of (interactive "p").
And also remove the line `(when (eq arg 1) (setq arg nil))' because
`dired-map-over-marks' already takes care of the prefix argument.

2. Create a new function `image-dired-dired-toggle-marked-thumbs'
from your changes and re-bind it to "\C-t\C-t" in dired.el
because this is a better name for changed functionality.
The current function `image-dired-dired-insert-marked-thumbs'
could be obsoleted later.

I tried your patch with these small changes, and it is much better
than the current `image-dired-dired-insert-marked-thumbs'.
