I got the same problem with with the Places Menu a fresh installation (from Vista to Ubuntu 8.10).
It didn't appear directly.
After 1 or 2 weeks, just to give me the time to get a little familiar with Linux after years of Microsoft, I decided to download some more applications via the Synoptic Package Manager .
Maybe I made an error by downloading a serie of equivalent applications just to find out which one suited me best.
So I can't know wiche program triggered the bug;
But from than on, the 3 first items of the Places Menu fired the gtkpod program.
I tried to correct the error with the 'Open with' menu.
In place I got the message
"Could not open the location file:///home/...
No application is registered as handling the file"
In mimeapps.list if found the line
' inode/directory= '
Replacement by line
'inode/directory=nautilus-folder-handler.desktop;'
corrected the error.
My story should give the hint that the bug doens't come from Nautilus, but somewhere in the installing procedure of applications
