Yes of course. This bug is related to bug 188734.

Steps to reproduce:

1) Insert a protected memory-card in a card reader. In my case it was a SD card in my laptop's internal reader. The card should be locked in order to not allow deletion of files.
2) Browse the contents of the card from a natilus window.
3) Try to move any file (DEL key) to the trash.

Nautilus will then warn against moving to the trash with the dialog shown in the attached screenshot.
