Hi,
I downloaded version 0.8.4 from deb per info in responses to question
https://answers.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/brasero/+question/54903
because I also had that problem of nested directories.

That version seems to improve the handling of directories of over 7 levels - there is still a dialogue that warns about it, but the program doesnt crash as it did when trying to create and save a project, stepping around the directories with more than 6 levels.

the only drawback was that the project took 3 hrs to burn - 1 hr to generate the checksum and about 2 hrs to burn the disc after that. probably a bit more - I just left it to do its thing. I have seen this reported elsewhere -

If this is to become an easy to use tool for burning discs, it has to operate with typical hardware in normal times.

Note -
this bug seems to overlap with bug
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/brasero/+bug/304278/

The message I got about directories too deep was different for 0.8.4 and didnt give me as much trouble, but I wasnt able to try with more than 6 levels of directory, but when I got the warning message, it now let me choose cancel and then add the directory I wanted to copy to dvd to a lower level directory on the dvd tree and eventually burn the data disc.

When I get a chance, I will try burning a disc when selecting the add button (instead of the cancel) from the message warning of too many directory levels.
