This shouldn't be unity dealing with that, but either nautilus shipping
the desktop file as a SRU (but this won't f(?ix the case for precise)
and special casing this in glib (?) to handle the removed desktop file.
I'm looking into this, thanks for notifying about this issue.

Title:
  Many users upgrading from 11.04 or eariler will be unable to open
  trash; flash drives  & if using Classic session places  in nautilus

Status in Unity:
  New
Status in “nautilus” package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  This issue isn't really a nautilus one per se, have to start
  somewhere.

  The issue is simple, updaters are quite likely to have this line in the [Default Applications] section of ~/.local/share/mimeapps.list
  inode/directory=
  If it is inode/directory=nautilus-folder-handler.desktop, which no longer exists,  then things like trash & usb flash drives will open with the 1st. listed .desktop  on the inode/directory= line in the [Added Associations] section which in many cases is a media player

  Have just myself seen Edit:  40  such cases in a couple days
  for users that are logging into gnome-fallback this can also extend to the places menu

  In 11.10 & 12.04 this will mainly affect 10.10, 11.04 & 10.04 users who installed before 10.04.2
  Maybe there is nothing to be done, eventually it will go away as installs with nautilus-folder.handler.desktop disappear
  (it's possible that one of the other nautilus.desktop names that is also no longer used could be on that line to the same effect.
