Oh, I agree it's not directly relevant to the bug. But it does
demonstrate the lengths to which I had to resort to work around this
(and other) Nautilus problems.
I plug an external, two-partition USB disk in, both partitions appear in
Nautilus (neither is available as a drop target), but I don't click on
either. gvfs-mount -li reports this:

I click the disk and it's now available as a drop target. gvfs-mount -li

I'm no expert but those look the same to me.
I think it's being mounted ok because icons for the two partitions
appear in the notification area and on the desktop, and I can cd into
the partitions from the command line. I can also drag and drop directly
onto the disk icons on the desktop without trouble. It's just drag and
drop inside the Nautilus file manager that doesn't work.
