If that's true Sebastian, about nautilus having a grid, then what I think would be a suitable workaround for this bug is an option that not just aligns to a grid when clicked, but forces icons to persistently be aligned to a grid, thus forcing new volumes to not overlap or new folders to be hidden under existing icons.

See Xubuntu, Kubuntu and Windows 95 to 7 for this.
