Hello Eric: I have some of the same problems with trash. If I go to trash knowing nothing is in there, finder becomes locked or better, the computer freezes.
I can't even force quit so have to reboot and eventually the finder comes back to life. Of course I delete the com.apple.finder.plist but this shouldn't happen. I never experienced this in SL. I never tried to change views, I like column view but I'll try to change views to see what happens. I guess what I'm saying, you aren't alone and believe it's a Lion bug. Running an early iMac 2008 with 4GB of ram. Take care and keep us posted.
