Happens the same to me.  I have two symlinks to two specific folders on my NTFS partition, that has all my personal files and data (Dual-Boot PC). When I access to this folders via Home Folder using symlink folder and try to delete some file that is inside this, the next message appears "... can't be put in the trash. Do you want to delete it immediately?". Not happening the same when I acces via Data partition to the folder. 
By the way, I had observed that this weird behavior only appears to happens on the symlinked folder, and not on the folders that can be contained inside of it.
If, after accessing via Home Folder to you symlinked folder, you create any new file and a new folder, put this file on the folder, and try to delete this last one, no problem occurs. But if you try the same with any file inside symlinked folder, the message appears. I do not know how to explain it well, but what I try to said is that there is no problem at all in folders contained (and the files this folders contain) inside symlinked folder. The problem is with files contained inside symlinked folder.

IE: if my symlink folder is /media/user/Personal Files, any file
contained in Personal Files will have problem if accesing via Home
Folder. But no problems at all will occur with  files contained in
/media/user/Personal Files/Music.

Hope this help to someone to fix this.

Title:
  can't move files to trash without any owner/permission issues

Status in Nautilus:
  Unknown
Status in nautilus package in Ubuntu:
  Triaged

Bug description:
  This is something that wouldn't happen before upgrading from Ubuntu
  14.10 / Nautilus 3.10 to Ubuntu 15.04 / Nautilus 3.14:

  I have a proper HOME partition and most User folders there (Documents,
  Downloads, Music, Pictures, Videos) are merely SYMLINKS to folders
  with the same names in a DATA partition which is mounted automatically
  at startup with proper options in fstab.

  Now -- unlike before -- when I attempt to delete an item in one of
  these folders after I open it via the SYMLINK I get the message "...
  can't be put in the trash. Do you want to delete it immediately?"
  although it is immediately moved to the Trash after I open the folder
  via the Data partition in the sidebar. (Naturally there are no such
  problems with items in other (real) items in my Home folder.

  Nautilus now seems confused about / not knowing where to move the item
  in question; to the Trash folder in the Home partition (symlink
  location) or the Data partition (real item location).
