I confirm the original bugreport. Can easily reproduce it on current installation (nautilus 1:2.22.1-0ubuntu1) by cutting-and-pasting some files (esp. jpg images - no svg's in that folders!) around bunch of directories. Nautilus began consuming more and more memory, while eating about 80-90% cpu; if left up leads to fully inaccessible machine with oom-killer traces in syslog. After pkill'ing nautilus process, all files moved by last action in nautilus seem to be in their destination dir (that is nautilus starts leaking after actual file move/copy operations).
