Another workaround besides unpinning the nautilus icon, is this:

sudo mv /usr/share/applications/nautilus.desktop /usr/share/applications/nautilus2.desktop
sudo mv /usr/share/applications/nautilus-folder-handler.desktop /usr/share/applications/nautilus-folder-handler2.desktop
sudo mv /usr/share/applications/nautilus-home.desktop /usr/share/applications/nautilus-home2.desktop

We're basically just renaming a few .desktop files related to nautilus. This will prevent the launcher from recognizing nautilus as a file manager and it won't execute the buggy behaviour.

However, when the bug has been fixed within unity itself, you should rename the all the .desktop files back to their original names.
