OK, I managed to track this down, quite nasty. So, the problem was that 
(for me at least), I have GTK+ 2.x and 3.x installed on the machine. 
Version 3.x is required by Tracker and we explicitly require it for the 
nautilus plugin. However, the libnautilus-extension pkg-config 
information already has the GTK+ version we need to link against 
mentioned and it was 2.x. So the issue was that Nautilus uses 2.x, the 
plugin was using 3.x and that caused crashes and all sorts here.

So the fix was (now in master):

http://git.gnome.org/browse/tracker/commit/?id=98a8948c8ef2f46568f49091d42a17c3d944fe4f

The downside here is that you can't use a version of GTK+ any newer than 
the one nautilus is built with for that extension. That's ok for now.

If this doesn't fix it, let me know.
