As confirmed, this is still in Lucid as of 9th June.
I've worked around it by adding the following to my ~/.bashrc
gconftool-2 --set /apps/nautilus/desktop-metadata/directory/icon_view_keep_align ed --type string "false"
Not sure why it's a string rather than a boolean, but that's what gconf-editor said it was.
