I think I found it... The /bin directory is, by default, symlinked to /usr/bin.
And this is causing the problem, since nano provides both a /bin/nano (real executable) and an /usr/bin/nano (symbolic link to /bin/nano). When the latter file is being created, the first one is overwritten = things work poorly... (Should this kind of bug be reported using launchpad.net? I tried it the other day but the package list was all empty so I don't know if it is still being used...)
