Any news about this? I think this bug difficults a lot the uploading of multiple images at once.
Some participants have uploaded multiple images with invalid IDs, using a same, dummy ID for all of them; now I think they do that because they can't asign the correct ID to each image.

uploaded.
Is this normal? Someone else has had this problem?
No, it's not normal; it's a bug with thumbnail generation on the cluster. See https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=39975 if you're interested in the technical details.
The gist is this: This bug appears if you're using a browser that doesn't support client-side thumbnail generation (e.g. IE) or if you're uploading a batch that's greater than 10MB in total size.
We're investigating. WMF is having its all-staff meetings this week but Wednesday is a hack day, so I'm hoping we can carve out some time to look into this then.
