This is not true anymore for recent versions of Nautilus, as it uses the GVfs metadata backend to save that information. Provided your installation of GVfs includes the metadata backend, you should be able to use g_file_info_set_attribute_* functions to set metadata attributes that nautilus can read. You can look at libnautilus-private/nautilus-metadata.h for a list of keys that nautilus provides, and gvfs-info on a file from the command to query the attributes on a file.
