Is there any work on fixing this?

The problem also occurs when deleting files using the "Del" key. While
it is not a functional bug, I think it should really be fixed before the
Gutsy relase (if possible):

1.) It is a definite regression to Feisty Fawn
2.) A User will not understand why the computer beeps in a way that's normally 
used for error conditions only
3.) It reduces the trust put into Nautilus (and thus into Gnome and thus into 
Ubuntu and thus into Linux) by making it feel "not perfect".

I know that last item sounds strange but isn't quality a lot about
perception? When navigating around a file system and doing some work
those two actions, moving to the parent directory (backspace) and
deleting a file (del), are rather common and if each time this action is
invoked produces an audible beep then I personally tend to avoid using
nautilus for these actions.

There's a workaround in unchecking "Enable System Beep" in the Audio
preferences, but obviously this also disables valid beeps.
