After searching for a while, I found out that the arista transcoder extension for nautilus was the cause. Removing the files arista-nautilus.py and arista-nautilus.pyc from /usr/share/nautilus-python-extensions solved the problem. The author of those files was informed of this. So this is not a nautilus/fedora/gnome bug.
