I figured it out. I went through and edited all the nautilus*.desktop files and removed "--browser" from them. Now nautilus launches just fine from both the Places menu and Cairo dock. But that isn't an ideal solution for your average user. If the --browser option isn't going to be used anymore, maybe nautilus could just ignore it, rather than refusing to start.
