I just stumbled across this bug as well. Only noticed because I wasn't
get thumbnails of an image I had just copied into my Private directory.
I even tried using cp from the command line, so it's not a nautilus bug.
Unfortunately I have no idea which (if any) files I lost as a result of
this (I switched to btrfs over a month ago).

Unmounting and re-mounting the Private directory causes the files to
show up, even after deleting (I added the file, saw it was corrupted,
deleted it, unmounted, remounted, and it was there). It wasn't 0 bytes,
so there was data there. However it was still corrupt, and the md5sum
differed from the original.

I immediately copied everything out of my Private directory into a new
directory. Everything went OK except for the corrupted file. It gave me
input/output errors (on the original and the copies in .Trash), so I can
only hope that the rest of the data is not corrupt.

This is a VERY serious bug causing data loss with no warning to the user
that it's happening.
