I've got the same problem with links to a samba share. The share is on a
harddisk which is mostly in standby. Therefore the first access to the
share takes some time (nautilus has to wait until the drive spins up).

This triggers the same behaviour, so I guess it is kind of a timeout
that occurs with which is dealt differently on links :-?
