Same thing here. Nautilus Actions worked just fine in Lucid (with a setup inherited from Karmic) until Monday's updates, then all the context menu items disappeared. Upon noticing this I zapped my Nautilus Actions configuration (by moving the entire ~/.gconf/apps/nautilus-actions branch to a safe place) and created a couple of new actions for testing purposes, throwing in a few "killall nautilus" commands and log-ins/log-outs in between, all to no avail. Whatever actions I define, they won't appear in the actual context menus in Nautilus.

It seems that at the same time diff-ext (which allows comparing files in meld via Nautilus' context menus) also stopped working. This may be an indication that the breakage is due to some recent change in the way Nautilus integrates context menu items from third-party apps.

OTOH the Nautilus Actions Configuration tool, which wouldn't even start in Lucid until Monday, is now mostly working, albeit with lots of minor and not-so-minor bugs, the worst being that the export assistant doesn't actually export anything.
