Confirming on Quantal. Doesn't affect Raring anymore as this option is no longer part of nautilus there.

Seems that there's something weird going on in nautilus_window_slot_open_location_full (nautilus-window-manage-views.c). The method is given NAUTILUS_WINDOW_OPEN_FLAG_NEW_TAB flag and is able to determine that it needs to open it in new window BUT then tries to open the window as tab.

Status changed to 'Confirmed' because the bug affects multiple users.
