At the moment we have the bash showing values in base 2 with the unit K, dolphin showing them in base 2 with the unit KiB, pcmanfm showing them in base 2 with the unit KB.
So patching nautilus to use base 2 woul make for a more common behaviour of the distro, but it will create work for our GNOME maintainer since he would have to maintain that patch for every future version. And it could break any other thing in GNOME since GNOME apps are quite interweaved with one another and you never know, what app uses nautilus in parts for what.
So personally I would prefer not to patch such a minor flaw, especially not knowing when other upstream projects will choose to go to base 10 as well.
