Using Ubuntu Desktop 14.04.2 LTS, GNOME nautilus 3.10.1 I was using 2 instances of nautilus ("Files" as it it named...). In one instance I copied a folder and in the other I pasted it. The destination folder had a sub-folder that did not exist in the source folder. The source folder had a subfolder that did not exist in the destination folder. After the paste operation using the "Merge" option, the destination folder contained only what was in the source folder. Everything else that used to be in the destination folder is gone. The source folder was on my laptop's hard drive. The destination folder was on my Samsung Android phone mounted via USB. Nautilus crashed during the operation and a bug report was submitted today. (I think I clicked the right buttons...) I tested the same operation using 2 folders on the local hard drive and it worked as expected.
