Comment:

 Sorry to have wasted your time.

 It looks like the gpx is somehow corrupted which makes all software
 display the second last point as a point with lat and lon 0.0. I cannot
 find this point in the gpx, and can't see any obvious syntax errors at the
 end of the file, but I'm no gpx expert either.

 Anyway, the thumbnail is the way it is because of the point, and they look
 identical because they cover the same area and both have this line to
 lat/lon 0.0. The download is as it should be, it just looks like there are
 only two points in it when you open it in JOSM and don't zoom in.

 So all is good on OSM's side, but something is wrong with GPS Logger or
 the combination of GPS Logger and GPS that I have on my phone.
