[Hardy] Nautilus does not give warning when copying a folder into itself

Nautilus does not give a warning if you attempt to copy a folder into itself. This is a regression from Gutsy. In Gutsy you would get a warning if you attempted to do this.
Steps to reproduce:
1. Open your home directory, right click on the Desktop folder and select Copy.
2. Right click on the actual Desktop and attempt to paste it there. (be warned this could eat up your hard drive very fast)

What should happen: You should get a warning that you cannot perform this operation.

What actually happens: There is no warning (as there used to be in Gutsy) and it actually proceeds with the operation. It will create a folder on the Desktop called Desktop which has a tree structure like so:
Desktop/Desktop/Desktop/Desktop/Desktop/Desktop/Desktop/Desktop....

Confirming this for the current nautilus version. The bug is known upstream - although not triaged yet...
