Yes, I have just tested on 15.04 and I still observe the issue, or at
least this part:

As in the original report, it happens randomly, and maybe not as often
as I seem to remember it used to.


One note that may (perhaps) help in triaging the issue:
- I now have the Launcher always visible on the left (as opposed to 
auto-hide/show)
- When I observe the issue (i.e. I drag and drop a file on the desktop and it 
does not move to the destination position), I observe that the Launcher sort of 
"flashes" at the very moment I drop the file and it isn't moved (more 
precisely, icons that are not possible destinations for the dragged file in the 
Launcher get greyed out for a fraction of a second)
- When I do *not* observe the issue, EITHER I've done it so quickly that the 
Launcher didn't have time to change its status, OR it did completely, and 
application icons that are not candidates for accepting the drop have been 
greyed out for a while.


In my few tests I've just done, I have observed this coincidence all the times; 
however it may have been random.
