That bug has been opened on https://launchpad.net/distros/ubuntu/+source/nautilus/+bug/55574 "1.Choose a file or a folder and right key click it; 2.Choose properties in the display shortcut memu; 3.Choose emblems option and select the stockmail-priority-high; 4.Close the dialog box,the file can't be emblemed. ... Confirming, the emblem is not displayed. After closing the dialogue and reopening it it's still showing as selected in the emblems tab." That happens with nautilus 2.15.91 too, it looks like the issue is with emblems which have a filename not starting by "emblem-*"
Thanks, will be fixed in Nautilus 2.24.1: http://svn.gnome.org/viewvc/nautilus?view=revision&revision=14660
Wouldn't be the "right" fix not to display "stockmail-priority-high" in the first place? After all it's just a link to emblem-important... so, we get the important emblem twice?

My theme == gnome-icon-theme. If it looks diffetently for you that (most likely) means you don't use g-i-t and your theme overrides one of the names but not the other... History: "stock_mail-priority-high" is a deprecated stock_ icon name from old gnome-icon-theme. It used to ship inside the stock/* folder but (unfortunately) was removed there and replaced by a symlink in emblems (icon looked the same or something). Bottom line: the stockmail-priority-high icon (name) is not meant to be used as an emblem.
> Bottom line: the stockmail-priority-high icon (name) is not meant to be used as an emblem. In this case, there should not be any symlink in the emblems subfolder. CCing all three gnome-icon-theme developers, because the gnome-icon-theme QA contact is “just“ Jimmac.
