Drag and drop to nautilus does not trigger file extraction

[jeremy-list]

To replicate: open a .tar.gz archive containing a folder, and drag and drop the folder to a nautilus window.

Expected results: The folder should be decompressed to the destination open in the nautilus window.

Actual results: The mouse cursor changes to indicate nautilus is prepared to accept the dropped folder; but nothing happens when the mouse button is released.
