I found that a lot of related bugs have either become invalid or expired. I am not sure whether I will be able to recreate this crash scenario but nautilus crashed when I moved from a directory to its parent directory.

Status changed to 'Confirmed' because the bug affects multiple users.

[Sebastien Bacher (seb128)]

The bug is quite old and the code changed since, also there has been no new report of that specific problem nor activity for some years so assuming it has been resolved and closing the ticket. If you still get issues in newer versions feel free to open a new report though.
