Update on above: Tried emptying trash again in Nautilus after a few days and this time it went off without a hitch. I'm starting to think that it was probably Tracker doing its initial index run (I'd enabled it after doing a fresh install) that caused the issue. Please feel free to close this one. Thanks.

However, in the Ubuntu session it takes a fair bit of time (processing...). My best guess is it is something to do with the Ubuntu Dock indicator that mirrors Nautilus' own progress update. Something could be holding things up there.
