Probably the descriptions are a little obsolete, or otherwise gloss over
the technical details the end users wont understand.

nautilus has never managed the automounts afaik, the automount helpers
(i.e the auto-run actions) did live in nautilus in GNOME2, moved to
gnome-settings-daemon in 3.0 and these days live within gnome-shell
(Since 3.12 or something).

My best guess (and its only that causesince I could never reliably
reproduce this bug and poke around with gdb), is that somehow a stale
volume ends up stored (possibly due to unclean ejection of cd or just a
plain leak) within the volume monitor, there is an update_mounts
function in gvfs that is probably triggered by the insertion of the new
CD and gvfs/GIO run through this an mount that old leaked volume. Of
course it could also be a race or any other number of things, however I
don't think its the filemanagers, they are just doing what they are told
by the lower level software. I just don't have time to dig into this,
especially when I can't reproduce.

Now if you were to poke into the GIO volume monitor, you could possibly
confirm that, however afaik there is no easy way to do that other than
writing code.
