Well, opinions seem to differ about that.

But which?  Only two bugs on 
http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/pkgreport.cgi?src=nautilus mention crashing when 
trying to view properties, this and 459147, about which similar comments have 
been made.

I am sure that most people using the testing distribution are aware of bugs 
being fixed in unstable before they get to testing and we don't report them, as 
long as we can find that they have been fixed.  As I wrote before, if these bugs 
were marked as duplicates that that would make it much less likely that they are 
reported again.
