It seems that if I...
1. Delete all rom collections and then close Xbmc.
2. Delete all the folders (0-f) in the "C:/Users/Username/AppData/Roaming/XBMC/userdata/Thumbnails" folder.
3. Replace with empty folders (0-f).
4. Delete the 'Textures13' file.
5. Import rom collections from scratch.
....it seems to work fine. I've just done this with my first two systems 'Neo Geo' and 'NES' and each have all the correct boxfronts and all the correct screenshots (About 400+ games). 'NES' was being very problematic before this.
It's a laborious task and a shame it needs to be done if you need to update artwork but I'm hoping all my systems go as smoothly as the first two and I can put it to bed, it's been a nightmare!
I'm not a programmer and only worked this method out to solve my own issues,I wouldn't recommend it! I don't have any other stored libraries such as Movies or Music and therefore didn't have to worry about losing data/thumbs etc. for anything else. I have a couple of other 'streaming' addons that I presumed would pull everything in again from the web, which they did.
If you have massive libraries for all kinds of media it's probably not a good idea to do what I did, but it seems to be working a treat for my situation! (Fingers crossed!)
I came across something recently that might speed this up for anyone, else in the future. Try Mucky Ducks Wizard Program Addon. Under Maintenance, there is an option to delete the texture13.db and thumbnail folder.
I don't think you have to do step 3.
