It's possible to create a symlink in nautilus that references an object on
another filesystem than where the link is housed. However, nautilus refuses move
such links to the Trash.

To reproduce:
1) Open two nautilus windows, showing folders on separate filesystems, where you
have write access to at least one of the folders
2) Middle-click and drag an object from one window to the other, choose "Link here"
3) Remove the link with the "Del" key or Right-click -> "Move to Trash"

Nautilus replies with a dialog:
  Error "not on the same file system" while deleting "/path/to/link".
  Would you like to continue? [Cancel] [Retry]

Retrying will repeat the error.

3b) Using direct "Delete" (if it's enabled in prefs) deletes the link though.

I don't think this is the same as Bug #23068 , altough similar.
