I was able to reproduce it based on Jeff's description above.
Even more, when I was creating the folder starting with dot, after finishing typing (.something) I pressed on Enter. The folder disappeared (ok) BUT another one appeared in Nautilus called "untitled folder". It appears only at that instance and it disappears afterward, it is not created on disk (I checked), the correct .something is created on disk.
