(Get the code!)
The root problem of this bug is at the design level:
Unity developers thought users would understand better the "Files" icon as the place where their personal files are located, rather than the files manager itself. But, since this icon also needed to command the files manager, this design created both a duality in functionality and confusion in how the user shall understand the icon; as its meaning changes depending on the situation.
So the fix is simply to make the icon mean the files manager under every circumstance, not the user's home folder: to make the icon behave equally as when it isn't locked into the launcher.
