Please note that this bug does not only affect links on the desktop, but appears to affect any *.desktop file of type "Link". When I drag the "Examples" link in my home directory to another folder, I get a copy of the the referenced directory "example-content".
This kind of flaw in basic functionality looks really bad to new users coming from Windows, and made 14.04 a non-starter for me until I replaced nautilus with nemo.
