I can reproduce this and the file doesn't have to be hidden. I copied a file to ~/Downloads and then moved it to the Rubbish Bin. I re-copied the file to ~/Downloads and then attempted to restore the first copy back to ~/Downloads. nautilus froze immediately and a couple of minutes later is still unusable.
