If you use a *ngIf on a thumbnail in an item it will place it inside of the ion-item-content instead of of outside of it.

Opened an issue with angular for this after discussing with Igor: https://github.com/angular/angular/issues/5363

Changing the priority on this since there is a temporary workaround:
<template [ngIf]="true" item-left>
<ion-avatar item-left>
<img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAAAAACH5BAAAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==">
</ion-avatar>
</template>

Removing this from a milestone, this is dependent on https://github.com/angular/angular/issues/6303
This will be fixed when we upgrade Angular to 2.0.0-beta.13. See Breaking Changes:
