I frequently notice a similar thing when using the back/forward buttons.
(I am using intrepid.)  For example:

1.  Open "File System" in tree view
2.  Open /etc
3.  Click on /etc/acpi to view the contents of that directory
4.  Click on /dev to view the contents of that directory
5.  Click the little down arrow beside /etc to collapse that directory's tree 
view
6.  Click the back button in the toolbar to return to /etc/acpi in the main 
file list pane.  Nautilus highlights /etc in the tree view, but doesn't expand 
the tree view to display the subdirectories of /etc.  (This is where things 
begin to go wrong -- nautilus should probably expand the tree view and 
highlight /etc/acpi, where I actually am viewing.)
7.  Click the little right arrow to expand the tree view to display the 
subdirectories of /etc like nautilus ought to do already.
8.  Now the tree view breaks down:
  - clicking on /etc does nothing
  - clicking on subdirectories of /etc does nothing
  - clicking on other directories under "File System" does nothing
9.  Furthermore, if I collapse /etc again and click around to other directories 
under "File System", /etc remains highlighted and even though I can navigate to 
other directories, clicking on /etc still does nothing.  I've attached a 
screenshot of this behaviour (/etc remaining highlighted while I'm browsing 
/dev.)

Collapsing "File System" resets the tree view so it works properly
again.

** Attachment added: "/etc remains highlighted while browsing /dev"
