I'm sure that this is just one of the many ways to trigger this ext4
thing, still, interested me even if not the cause of the bug.

Found this thread which seems to be same issue.

Appears that this is related to permission/ownership - so presumably you
deleted read-only files.

I can imagine that might happen if, for example, the files were copied
off a CD and had default read-only permissions.

I'm suprised nautilus doesn't handle this more gracefully.
