I was seeing this too. Using chown to reassign the files to me worked fine.
In my own cack-handed attempt to remove files in my wastebasket owned by root, I started a 'sudo nautilus' session and clicked on 'Deleted Items' in the sidebar. The window grayed out and did not come back. It appeared to leak memory, taking up 2GB once a minute or so had passed. Something had gone seriously wrong! At least 'Force Quit' worked on the window, and the memory was released. Perhaps another bug should be raised for this behaviour?
