I'm not sure. It should really be helpful if you report an issue against 
the mate-eiciel github and add a link if needed to the Nautilus patch to 
have the input of the developer.

I don't have the background to give you a better answer. I'd prefer to 
see the input of upstream author.

I understand. I'm part of the Debian Mate Team and I don't use 
caja-eiciel myself.

It's not as easy as we expect. I should check and come back here.
