I don't think that this is nautilus specific. I have just tried to
reproduce this on other file managers (e.g., nemo and thunar) and they
also crash. The problem seems to be related with glib. So any file
manager that relies on it will crash.

Can anyone confirm if my assertion is correct?

Title:
  Nautilus crashes when delete a file in a folder which is a symbolic
  link to another filesystem

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

Bug description:
  Nautilus crashes with an "assertion error" whenever accessing a
  folder, which is a symbolic link to a folder in another filesystem,
  and then deleting any file inside that folder (the file is not
  deleted).

  Steps I used to reproduce de problem in my machine:

  1) /dev/sda1 partition mounted on root folder with XFS filesystem;
  2) /dev/sda2 partition mounted on /mnt/data folder partition with EXT4 filesystem;
  3) create a folder "/mnt/data/test" and the empty text file "/mnt/data/test/file.txt";
  4) in your home folder, create a symbolic to the "test" folder above with "ln -s /mnt/data/test";
  5) open the symbolic link folder with "nautilus <home_folder>/test";
  6) delete the "file.txt" file (pressing the delete button) and watch nautilus crashing with the following error:

  nautilus: malloc.c:2909: __libc_malloc: Assertion `!victim || ((((mchunkptr)((char*)(victim) - 2*(sizeof(size_t)))))->size & 0x2) || ar_ptr == (((((mchunkptr)((char*)(victim) - 2*(sizeof(size_t)))))->size & 0x4) ? ((heap_info *) ((unsigned long) (((mchunkptr)((char*)(victim) - 2*(sizeof(size_t))))) & ~((2 * (4 * 1024 * 1024 * sizeof(long))) - 1)))->ar_ptr : &main_arena)' failed.
