I verifyed what happening if I log in for example the gnome-session-flashback old session.
If I click places menu the computer menu item, Nautilus correct presenting computer:// place and possible accessing all filesystems.
If this is not a bug with Gnome Shell places menu extension, how can possible changing the default working method with user level?
I added an another computer menu item into the places menu with presenting computer:// address, but this is not a beautiful solution because the computer menu item are duplicated.

This patch fixing this problem.
The fix is absolute safe and not producing any regression, I tested this fix in Ubuntu Trusty, GNOME Shell 3.10.4 version. The fix affecting only one code line the Places menu extension.
If I applying this patch and restart GNOME Shell, when I clicking in Places menu the Computer menu item, Nautilus right presents computer:/// content and I see all available drives.
If anybody sponsoring this fix in Ubuntu Trusty and Utopic, please commit this change.
Before you uploading the new package, don't forgot to remove following line in fix-ubuntu-session.patch:
@@ -0,0 +1,7 @@

If the original working method is right and not need applying this fix, please tell me how can possible customize the places menu Computer menu item to present me nautilus computer:/// place when I clicking computer menu item. Sure right if an user not have administrator privilege presenting the / location if the user clicking the Computer menu item in GNOME Shell Places menu?

Attila,
    It looks to me like the current behaviour is correct and intentional, but lets wait for upstream to review your patch and see what they have to say. btw Nautilus also has the same behaviour in its side bar.

see https://git.gnome.org/browse/gnome-shell-extensions/commit/?id=2f5c095f7a0d2f85a0673ad0605ba7fbed2e0645
