It seems we need to wait for a patch to be made to a patch made to the original package, as that patch --I'm told-- also serves an important purpose which should not be omitted (as the workaround above, although it seems quite harmless, I don't know)
Therefore I think it is better to follow the developments there, and close this one.
IMPORTANT UPDATE:
Now that we know the root cause of this problem thanks to CzBix (see https:/ /bugs.launchpad .net/ubuntu/ +source/ nautilus/ +bug/1449112/ comments/ 7) I have reported this issue as a bug in the glib2.0 package (instead of nautilus)
