Changing underlying *nix mechanisms would complicate things too much and could bring a lot of confusion. I believe that the best solution is something in the line of:

if directory_name == os.environ['HOME']:
  icon_name = _("Home")

There is nothing wrong with the term 'Home' for a home directory. In unix world this is your home, everything that is yours should be there. :) When I want to see my files I want to go to my home not to BigWhale's Home. Referring to myself in third person feels a little bit silly.

I vote for "Home" all around. Places, file dialogs and nautilus windows.
