I think this bug is related to my experience that nautilus sometimes ignores copy/paste shortcuts. I couldn't really reproduce this bug until I found this:
"After (a) opening a new nautilus window, or (b) navigating to a new directory in an existing nautilus window, there is often — but not always — a brief pause of a second or two where nautilus will not react to certain keyboard shortcuts."
Indeed, if you perform these operations quickly (keyboard), nautilus misses some keystrokes from time to time, although I don't know a way to exploit this behavior with 100% success.
