I could reproduce this problem by renaming an image file to this:
"My Image with 265 charachter filename 901234567890123456789012345678901234567890123456789012345678901234567890123456789012345678901234567890123456789012345678901234567890123456789012345678901234567890123456789012345678901234567890123456789012345678901234567890.jpg"![:bugconfirmed:]( "Bug - Confirmed")

(I removed some characters from my filename above).

So if the name is 240 characters long, and it's inside a 10 character long folder, and when renaming we add 15 chars more, XMP will happily rename it, and read the thumbnail, but you will not be able to see the image (neither trying to launch it from the browser, which shows a blank screen, nor from outside XMP, which shows a 'file not found' error from XMP. However with XMP you can rename the file back to shorter than the limit.
