I've just experienced this bug after upgrading from Gutsy to Hardy, but the effects were somewhat different. I emptied the trash using the trash applet, but the applet icon still showed it as full. I opened the trash directory, but it was empty. After reading this bug report, I checked the contents of the .trash_entry_cache file, and saw that files such as /dev/shm, /var/run and /lib/modules/2.6.24-16-generic/volatile/ were listed. I deleted the .trash_entry_cache file, logged out of my X session and logged in again, and the trash applet showed the trash as empty.
