It'd copy the original file, but with new name.

And about the waiting - if you'd want to copy the file prior to feeding the 
uri to nautilus, you'd need to:
a) "pick up" the file
b) wait until it's copied
c) drop the file in nautilus.

Imagine that you'd want to copy 1GB of files - you'd need to wait for the data 
to copy before dropping the files into nautilus.

Linking would take a fraction of the time.

Anyways - maybe we'd rather try to hack at the source of the problem - 
Nautilus - or at least make them extend the DnD feature so that it would 
allow for a rename on-the-fly.
