Although I've identified several specific examples, the underlying request is really just one thing: support for encryptfs mounted Private directories in Nautilus.

There didn't seem to be much point in submitting each issue individually, as they will all rely on some lower-level recognition of encryptfs mount points in Nautilus, and until that is in place there's not much point dwelling on the specifics of the UI.

I'm also not sure how relevant this is to upstream Nautilus. At the moment the use of ecryptfs mounted ~/Private directories is very specifically a Ubuntu thing. If it leads to further uptake of ecryptfs in a similar manner, then this might be worth pushing upstream, but at the moment I see it as largely a Ubuntu Nautilus requirement, rather than a Gnome Nautilus requirement.

This is most definitely a "wishlist" feature, but if encrypted ~/Private directories do start to see widespread use with the release of Intrepid, it would make life much simpler for end users if there was some consistency in the way they are handled.
