Status changed to 'Confirmed' because the bug affects multiple users.

After updating to Ubuntu 12.10 Quantal Quetzal my external USB harddrive with several partitions can be unmounted but not detached (safely removed). I tried to update the deliverd Nautilus 3.4.2 to 3.6 with the "ppa:gnome3-team/gnome3" PPA but then it even didn't start. USB flash drives are dismounted and detached automatically without any problem
