This is why @src was made to act like @about and not @resource/@href.
The mark-up you want is this:

  <div about="#me">
    <span rel="foaf:depiction">
      <img src="me.jpg" rel="foaf:thumbnail" resource="me-thumb.jpg" />
    </span>
  </div>

By the way, in XHTML 2 @href can appear on any element, and represents
a navigable link. So you might actually reverse what you are saying,
and say t hat the thumbnail is a depiction of you, and that it is a
'thumbnail of' the larger picture:

  <div about="#me">
    <span rel="foaf:depiction">
      <img src="me-thumb.jpg" rev="foaf:thumbnail" href="me.jpg" />
    </span>
  </div>

Now the smaller image shows inline in the document, and clicking on it
would yield the larger image.

Regards,

Mark
