I think bug #859104 is a completely separate issue, and this one does
not effect libnautilus-extension. The API to programmatically add
emblems to files is still in Nautilus. However, without gobject-
introspection support for libnautilus-extension, it would be very
difficult to write extensions in Python.

I don't think this bug is going to be fixed upstream. The fact that the
emblems UI ever existed in Nautilus has been considered a bug for a very
long time. The solution would be to provide a tagging system and
reasonable UI for using it, integrated with tracker, and allowing users
to set arbitrary tags on their files. The concept of "emblems" should be
reserved for use only in a programmatic way, for differentiation of
system details on files; such as readonly, unreadable, symlink, and
synchronization services like Ubuntu One.

Title:
  Regression: Missing backgrounds and emblems in Nautilus 3.2.0/Ubuntu
  11.10

Status in “nautilus” package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  The entire emblems UI in nautilus as described in
  http://library.gnome.org/users/user-guide/stable/nautilus-
  emblems.html.en linked from the Ubuntu user guide is missing since
  upgrading to oneiric. One post in the forum thread
  http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=11382967 states that the
  feature is not present in the version of nautilus used for oneiric.
  From a user perspective, this is a severe regressin, especially if she
  had organized her files using emblems before.
