Download the above file (librsvg.thumbnailer) and copy it to /usr/share/thumbnailers/ as root (this means run sudo -s or just su to get a root shell before coping it over with cp librsvg.thumbnailer /usr/share/thumbnailers/).

(Note: If your prefix is not /usr/, be sure to change /usr/bin/ and /usr/local/ where appropriate. In most cases, this will be your prefix.)

Source for this file is from https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=778666 — it looks like the small patch hasn't made it into librsvg 2.40.16 in Fedora 26 alpha. Hopefully it will be included in a near-future release.

Bonus points!

For GIMP thumbnails, install the xcf-pixbuf-loader (in Fedora, it's dnf install xcf-pixbuf-loader) and copy the following into /usr/share/thumbnailers/gimp-xcf.thumbnailer:

[Thumbnailer Entry]
TryExec=/usr/bin/gdk-pixbuf-thumbnailer
Exec=/usr/bin/gdk-pixbuf-thumbnailer -s %s %u %o
MimeType=image/x-xcf;image/x-compressed-xcf;
