Since I am not sure when this bug will be fixed, I am providing (as is, with ABSOLUTELY NO WARRANTY) a simple shell script that will downgrade nautilus, nautilus-data, and libnautilus-extension to version 1:2.25.3-0ubuntu2. It downloads the old binary versions of those packages from Launchpad (this will not work when Launchpad removes those files from disk), forces their downgrade, and attempts to fix any unmet dependencies. Extract the script.tar.gz file, and run (in terminal) script32.sh or script64.sh, for Ubuntu 32-bit or 64-bit, respectively. Remember not to upgrade nautilus in the future until this bug is fixed.
