I tried to setup a bookmark for my /usr/ directory. Nautilus kept stubborn. I tried again. Then this error message appeared.
My error may be related to #214123. But some person declared bug #214123 to be invalid.

The proposed version fixes the issues I had.
I can delete folders from the treeview and middle clicking on an empty spcae does not crash Nautilus anymore. I do not get any crash when ejecting devices either. I don't use the previewer and I don't know how to reproduce the symbolic icon theme crasher but other than that this looks ok to me.
