There is a difference between the thumbnail and the actual model.

Sketchup.active_model.selection[0].definition.thumbnail_camera = Sketchup.active_model.active_view.camera
Sketchup.active_model.selection[0].definition.save_thumbnail File.join('E:', "1.jpg")

I think that has been by design in the thumbnail logic. It prunes out the background color.

Or are you talking about something else? Can you add some specifics to what is expected behaviour?

The export preview of the model in black has turned to white

Oh, the material of the model. Hm.. didn't notice that. Interesting.

Looking at this issue, it appears that the component thumbnail was created before the dark material was applied. Now the thumbnail is cached in the model without the dark material. You can use definition.refresh_thumbnail to update the cached thumbnail. Then write out the thumbnail and it will show the dark material. https://ruby.sketchup.com/Sketchup/ComponentDefinition.html#refresh_thumbnail-instance_method
