I'm experiencing the same bug. I have checked that udev is sending the right signals when the drive is plugged in, but it seems not to be picked up by caja (don't know about nautilus). I'm not 100% sure who is responsible for picking up the udev message, but from what i read it should be gnome/caja or nautilus, i just don't understand the mechanism and so don't get further in debugging this.

However, the 'eject symbol' and the listing of folders within the drive do not appear. Testing to see if the drive is indeed mounted via: mount | grep -F "/media/$(id -un)" resulted in no information being returned, indicating that the drive is not mounted. Clicking on the drive in nautilus caused the folders and eject icon to appear after a few milliseconds. Retesting the 'mount' command showed: /dev/sde1 on /media/abc/Data Backup type ext4 (rw,nosuid,nodev,relatime,errors=remount- ro,stripe=8191,uhelper=udisks2) checking: gsettings get org.gnome.desktop.media-handling automount resulted in 'true' checking /etc/fstab showed no entry for the drive. using 'disks' to edit the mounting options and with 'automount on start up' did automount the device, but only when plugged in during startup.. otherwise ineffective. An fstab entry without the 'automount on startup' was ineffective.
