I have experienced this problem several times now and I think it should definitly be fixed.
The bug it has obviously something to do with how nautilus reads the usershares definition under /var/lib/samba/usershares, which is affected by the usershare settings in the smb.conf file. So I think it has to do with the communication between nautilus (especially the usershare function) and samba. After noticing the bug I tried reconfiguring the smb.conf file which has been modified by me in the past. So first of all it would be interesting to know wheater other users who experienced this bug also have been modifieing the smb.conf file. After I reset the guest settings in smb.conf, more precisely the "guest ok = yes" the bug was gone. I restartet several times after resetting different options so I think it rather hast something to do with the usershare allow guest setting but I could not reproduce the bug since then.
