I think the problem can be reproduced as follows:

1. Open the home folder by clicking on the home icon in unity.

2. Try and drag'n'drop a folder to the sidebar.

If you tried to drag it anywhere but the bookmarks subsection of the
sidebar, the folder zooms back whence it came and isn't added to the
bookmarks. (It would certainly be more user-friendly if it were added to
the bookmarks instead.)

If you tried to drag it to the bottom of the bookmarks section, ie under
the last listed bookmark, it also zooms back whence it came is isn't
added to the bookmarks. It *should* be added to the bookmarks. I think
this is also the default case for a brand new user, who has no bookmarks
by definition and therefore cannot add one.

If you drag it across to elsewhere in the bookmarks section, it is
added. And at that point you can also drag another folder to the very
bottom of the bookmarks section, ie it starts to work.

Closing the nautilus window and re-opening it causes the same issue as
above.

** Description changed:

  I can no longer add a bookmark to nautilus in the current Oneiric.
  
- Choosing 'Add Bookmark' from the menu does nothing. "Drag'n'drop"
- doesn't work either.
+ If you try and drag a folder to the very bottom of the bookmarks section
+ immediately after opening a nautilus window, it doesn't get added to the
+ bookmarks. This also prevents newly-created users from ever adding a
+ bookmark. If you drag a folder to the middle of the bookmarks section,
+ it gets added, and at this point you can drag folders to the very bottom
+ of the bookmark section (at least until you close nautilus and reopen
+ it).
+ 
+ Choosing 'Add Bookmark' from the often menu does nothing.
