I stumbled on a fix and increased the systems inotyfy watches by entering the following line to /etc/sysctl.conf: fs.inotify.max_user_watches = 262144 . I believe the default value is about 8000, and the above mentioned increase, with a slim increase in memory usage, cured all problems. The maintainer, Mr. Seabastian Bacher's advice to post this bug upstream (Gnome) is appreciated, but for time being I will not do so as this appears to be a kernel issue, after all.

This problem concerns NFS mounted folders but also to a rather considerable extenth my (only) additional local partition (/media/Local), where some actions (eg. cut/paste) also requires a manual refresh. Changes made in home folder refreshes automatically without any further user intervention. NFS Trash has disappeared: I don't know if this behavior is in any way related to the afore mentioned, but moving files to Trash from NFS mounted partitions, results in a dialog promting that the files will be permnently deleted - which they in fact are, if you click OK.
