This is very much the intended behavior of Nautilus. Everything is done asynchronously as to not block the UI whenever possible. That means caching data like the complete size of everything in a folder, as this isn't usually a fast-changing piece of data. We register file watches on folders though, and we do reissue requests whenever the data does change, however that information cannot be obtained instantly (however much we wish it could be ;). Not sure about adding anything to the UI to indicate this though. It's likely not going to show sane behavior due to the way Nautilus caches data.
