Cannot bookmark symlinks

Submitted by Kousu

Description

From either Nautilus or from a file picker, I can drag a folder to the bookmarks area and have it stick, but if I try this with a folder that is a symlink it mysteriously just vanishes immediately. This used to work. In fact I currently have bookmarks that are symlinks from last term, and I can still click on them, so the bug is just at creation time.

Is there a way to turn on debugging output from Nautilus?
