I've been using GNOME in the Guix System since I installed it (almost a year ago), and this have never worked for me.

Also, opening the files with some applications will make the thumbnails work for these particular files. For example, opening images in the GIMP or browsing files with file managers like Thunar and Caja (if I recall correctly).
