@pdf: interesting that you know that it's an uncessary patch, did you
look at why it was set before affirming this?

if you take some time to dig a little further, you will see:
  * debian/patches/11_copy_skipping_pager.patch:
    - after discussion with dx and design, the easier short-time solution is to
      have the copy dialog skipping the pager to be able to launch nautilus even
      with a copy operation in progress (bamf will handle that in the future
      nicely) (LP: #784804)

And if you open the linked bug, you will see as well that the issue it fixes for unity is not trivial (basically, if you perform a copy operation in unity and close the nautilus window, there is no way to get a new nautilus windows)
So, yeah thanks for the qualifier of "ridiculous" for this patch, that woul help if you take more time to have a better patch though rather than just stating something which isn't right.

Basically, I'll take some time to fix it tomorrow, which is NOT removing the patch, but only skipping the pager in the unity session. If you are up for that, patches are, as always, welcomed, and more constructive than having this behavior on a bug report.
Thanks.

Title:
  nautilus progress window marked skipped, not managed by gnome-shell

Status in GNOME Shell:
  Unknown
Status in “nautilus” package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  When running nautilus and doing a file transfer that brings up the file
  operations window, I noticed that the window doesn't appear in the Alt+Tab
  grouping for nautilus, and does not appear in the gnome-shell Windows activity
  or even in the thumbnail for the workspace that the window resides in. This
  makes it very difficult to find when there are many windows in the current
  workspace, which is usually the case in my workflow.
