It also happens to me.

I've noticed the exact same thing as the above. It will either kill
nautilus, or the second try tell me it can only be deleted, and not put
in the trash.

It also happens to Nemo.

So, it's not a bug in either of them, but the system underneath?

Title:
  File couldn't be moved to  trash: Invalid link across device
  boundaries

Status in nautilus package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed
Status in nemo package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed
Status in thunar package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  1) Xubuntu 15.10 beta 1

  2) Thunar 1.6.10

  3) Dragging in Thunar an external folder (like "/media/user/mountxy" for example) to one's home folder creates a linked folder (or is it called: folder link?). 
  Now inside this linked folder I try to use Thunar's right-click "delete file" menu. It's the "delete to trash" entry.
  When the file is in some sub-folder of the linked folder, everything works.
  When file is in the linked folder's root however, Thunar gives the following error:

  4) Thunar complains (roughly translated to English from my localised
  Thunar) :

  »File couldn't be moved to trash.
  Invalid link across device boundaries.«

  (In localised language the message says so:
  »Datei konnte nicht in den Papierkorb verschoben werden.
  Ungültiger Link über Gerätegrenzen hinweg.« )

  P.S. When in this linked folder's root I delete the file without the
  trash-option, i.e. the "delete forever" menu entry, it works.
