Because it's a thumbnail, which is taking rendering of the first screen, not resizing the original image

Changing resolution from fixed -> invalid (That's still not quite right resolution for this bug). Fixed implies somebody changed MediaWiki to allow scaling of the original image.

See also bug 28135 for stuff related to scaling big images
