This bug is related to xserver and not only nautilus. It has been fixed upstream in commit 3e6358ee6c33979329b78fe2097a1fdf76fb69cd "Xi: Don't check for TOUCH_END, it's never set" but as you are experiencing, it's not included in neither ubuntu 12.04 nor F17 (though F18 is fixed).
I would recommend changing the priority of this bug as it affects all multitouch screens and also changing the component to xserver.
