I created a test setup on a fresh Ubuntu 18.04

    sudo mkdir /m /mnt/m /m/doc
    sudo touch /m/doc/test.txt
    sudo apt install nfs-kernel-server
    sudo echo "/m 0.0.0.0/24 (rw)" >> /etc/exports
    sudo systemctl restart nfs-kernel-server

There should be no error.

    sudo mount -t nfs 127.0.0.1:/m /mnt/m

Here neither.

A `ls /mnt/doc` should contain the "test.txt" file.
Now create a new user "tester" and log in via Gnome, so that the standard 
directories are created.

back as admin user, delete the "/home/tester/Documents" folder, and do a

  ln -s /mnt/m/doc /home/tester/Documents

Now I tested nautilus - and it worked.
So IMHO this bug can be closed, at least for 18.04 it is working correctly now.
