I can confirm the reported behavior. If I edit a file on my home partition, the full path is listed with the ~ shorthand, however, if I copy the file to /media/disk (or a subfolder there) and edit it from there, only the disk label is shown. If I insert a peripheral like an unlabeled USB drive, it gets mounted e.g. on /media/07F1-0026 but gedit shows "8.2 GB Filesystem", which is even less helpful when you're mostly on the command line.
Why is this bug marked as incomplete? What more information do you need from us? I would appreciate that the importance be bumped from "low" as this is making it completely unfeasible to use gedit as a lightweight IDE, which was (IMO) one of its strong points. With Python being so important to Ubuntu, you'd think that editing hundreds of __init__.py file without access to the full path would be more of a priority issue.
