This was originally reported by Anton in Launchpad - https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/nautilus/+bug/846288

it seems that nautilus wrongly assumes that every linux ext partition must be ext3/4. I'm not sure how exactly it assesses the partition type but it seems buggy in this case. I was also able to confirm it on my system using USB flash drive.

Please note that filesystem type is properly detected in mtab.

/dev/sdb5 /media/2 ext2 rw,nosuid,nodev,uhelper=udisks 0 0
/dev/sdb1 /media/1 ext2 rw,nosuid,nodev,uhelper=udisks 0 0

Could you get a "gvfs-mount -li" and a "udisk --dump" log?
