Ah, worked it out. Open a normal nautilus window and choose View > Main Toolbar to remove the toolbar from nautilus windows. Click on the desktop and press Ctrl-L and the location field appears at the top of the desktop, behind the Unity panel.

In previous versions using Gnome 2 this shortcut would bring up a dialogue box in which you could type the path name of a folder to open, which was very handy. The functionality still works, but the presentation is obviously incorrect.
