The thumbnail generator honors the cover search priority in Library options. In the case where the option is set to "Embedded images the generator extracts the image from the last song in the album directory and makes a thumbnail image whose file name is a hash of the album directory path.
When an album is clicked in the Tag or Album view the code uses the first song in the Album directory to make a path that's submitted to the cover art extractor.
Normally this is not a problem for embedded images since all songs in a given album directory will have the same cover image. There are some exceptions for example Nine Inch Nails - The Slip where each track has a different cool image :-)
