The following bug was reported a few days ago on our bugtracker:

1) create a folder in your home and a symbolic link pointing it:
$ mkdir ~/orig
$ ln -sT ~/orig dest

2) create a test file in the original folder:
$ touch ~/orig/test.txt

3) open a Thunar session and go to the original folder *~/orig*, cut the
test.txt file using the gui, which simply means right-click on the
test.txt file and choose *cut*

4) use Thunar to go to the destination folder *~/dest*, which actually
is the symbolic link poiting to the same folder of the original one,
right-click and choose *paste*

5) a confirmation window will open ... choose *replace* to go on

6) a new window with an error will open but at this time the original
test.txt file is already deleted, so no matter what you choose at this
point.

Tested on Lubuntu 10.10 with Thunar 1.0.2

I've been able to reproduce it with thunar 1.2.3 too.
Thanks.

This is still reproducible with git master.

Also, when doing action history back after the final step, thunar will
crash.
