You're not alone.  I can reproduce even with hald not running.  There
was also an Ubuntu report
(https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/nautilus/+bug/224642) about
this.  It's not a crash, though, nor do I see any errors
in .xsession-errors.  This is most likely a GUI programming mistake.  I
suggest you open a report in GNOME's Bugzilla as it is most likely to be
fixed there.
