Have you tried with a clean profile?
I have seen this both under Sarge (using an account that used to run KDE but now Gnome, so I can see how that environment might be polluted), and on a machine with a fresh installation of ubuntu with a brand new user account (not sure how much cleaner you can get than that).
Mostly, this seems to crop up after I've used the "Connect to Server" applet to define a nautilus connection to a remote host. The connection icon that appears on the desktop seems to throw off removable media icons, even after I've thrown a couple of other document icons on the desktop too.
