It's pretty easy to fix using ImageMagick which is what most apps are using to resize images. At the command line it's the -strip option and in rmagick it's the strip! method. This does remove all meta data but for thumbnails like this it's probably desirable.
ImageMagick also has a -thumbail option that you can use in place of -resize:
This is similar to -resize, except it is optimized for speed and any image profile, other than a color profile, is removed to reduce the thumbnail size. To strip the color profiles as well, add -strip just before of after this option.
