It does, but the default size will depend on what the theme developer has set 
(if anything) in functions.php. For example, in one theme, I've set the 
default size to 55x55.

WordPress currently will not re-size thumbnails for already uploaded images 
(though plugins exist to do so). That won't matter, for testing purposes, for 
themes that define square dimensions for post images. However, if a theme uses 
rectangular dimensions, then the thumbnail won't display as intended with the 
theme unit data, without re-uploading the image.

I'm thinking there isn't really a good way to accommodate non-square, custom 
thumbnail dimensions for testing purposes.
