I have added a patch that fixes the issue of the compact view default zoom level being ignored (while it actually wrongly reacted to the icon view default zoom level!), as described in the duplicates of this bug report.
This patch is actually just a one line change which seems to be a typo in the original source code. I have tested it locally on my machine on Quantal, but it should also fix the bug for Nautilus in Precise since this is basically the same version of Nautilus. Unfortunately Nautilus upstream maintainers have dropped compact view since version 3.6, so I doubt that the patch will have any use for them. But I'll try to forward the patch to Nemo upstream.
