Opening ~/.local/share/Trash in nautilus shows 2 subdirectories: "files"
with 997 items and "info" with 1241 items. No errors from nautilus in
~/.xsession-errors.

The oldest .trashinfo file in ~/.local/share/Trash/info is from June 27
2008, so whatever changed (maybe even upgrading nautilus) happened a
while ago.

I tried to strace nautilus to see there was a permission issue or
something, but I can't because of:

If you have any other suggestions for debugging this though, I'm open to
anything.
