This is also the case on mine, Ubuntu 12.10. With both the latest and dev versions. If you use the command line to specify the directory it is working fine but you can not use the mouse in the GUI to select the directory.

I am unable to reproduce this with 2.44-1 and I believe this to be true for earlier versions as well. I suspect user error as the nautilus interface is not too clear.

Can you please send a screenshot?
