It seems the behaviour changed here:

r3716 | tal197 | 2004-11-11 14:04:24 +0000 (Thu, 11 Nov 2004) | 2 lines

Much faster thumbnail generation (Ken Hayber, reported by Anthony DiSante).

I suspect this was unintentional, and we should never scale up when
writing thumbnails (whether we choose to scale them up for display or
not).

In fact, the spec says:

"If a program needs a thumbnail for an image file which is smaller
than 128x128 pixel it doesn't need to save it at all."
