I'm sure that this aspect of Nautilus could use some testing and 
improvement. It seems that there are some trash edge cases that don't work 
well.

I think the desired approach is that if there's no way to make a trash 
folder, Nautilus should tell you that it can't trash and offer to delete 
instead. I'm not sure what it should do about a mount point with a trash 
folder that gives you permission enough to see the trash, but not enough 
to empty the trash.

A related feature is that if you are copying to a destination that has a 
non-empty trash folder, it should offer to empty the trash if that will 
free enough space to make the copy successful (not 100% accurate, but 
based on adding up sizes).
