Ooh, right, I forgot that in between reporting and now :) So now I can also
reproduce:

$ dd if=/dev/zero of=5G count=5000 bs=1M
$ dd if=/dev/zero of=6G count=6000 bs=1M
$ mkfs.vfat 6G 
$ sudo mount -t vfat 6G /mnt/vfats -o uid=$USER,gid=$USER
$ thunar .

and try copying 5G into /mnt/vfats  –  it spends a while copying until it
finally can't write any more, saying "error splicing file; file too large;
would you like to skip".

So it's not fixed, and it's easy to reproduce with the above commands.
