The 'CTRL+T' shortcut still opens new tab and makes it very confusing (for newcomers). That's with Nautilus 1:3.2.0-0ubuntu5. It should be noted that this behaviour doesn't break the desktop, because you can close that new tab (just right click on it and you will see close tab option).

The desktop window will turn into a popup with a Nautilus file view and none of the usual chrome, and two tabs at the top. The application seems to suffer horribly at this point.
