Hmmm...  after a bit of bug hunting the culprit is not Nautilus but the
fstab file created by the installer:

# /etc/fstab: static file system information.
#
# Use 'vol_id --uuid' to print the universally unique identifier for a
# device; this may be used with UUID= as a more robust way to name devices
# that works even if disks are added and removed. See fstab(5).
#
# <file system> <mount point>   <type>  <options>       <dump>  <pass>
proc            /proc           proc    defaults        0       0
# / was on /dev/sda1 during installation
UUID=618d3c71-f02d-47d4-a0ba-9cc456517e61 /               ext4
 errors=remount-ro 0       1
# swap was on /dev/sda5 during installation
UUID=53aaef30-f32e-4576-ac50-e30f7701d0e8 none            swap    sw
     0       0
/dev/sdb1       /media/cdrom0   udf,iso9660 user,noauto     0       0

The Acer Aspire One does not have a CDROM drive and the operating system was
installed by USB stick on /dev/sdb.
Removing the CDROM entry from /etc/fstab fixes the problem.  I will place a
new bug against the installer.

Apologies for the noise.
