I've removed some of the output so that it's easier to read...

$ touch test1
$ ln test1 test2
$ ls -l
 0
-rwxrwx--- 2 root plugdev 0 2008-05-09 10:43 test1
-rwxrwx--- 2 root plugdev 0 2008-05-09 10:43 test2
$ strace -e trace=unlink nautilus . &
unlink("/tmp/orbit-daiyutsung/linc-4020-0-2550990e1816d") = 0
Process 16416 detached
$ ls -l
 0
-rwxrwx--- 2 root plugdev 0 2008-05-09 10:43 test2


This shows nautilus removing a different file entirely. I suspect, 
although I haven't looked, that some sort of safe-undelete functionality 
might be moving rather than removing files.
