Click on Edit->Preferences Actual Results: Nautilus crashes and the bug report tool appears (see attached debug info). To be able to start nautilus again I have to restart the gnome session or to kill all remaining nautilus instances (killall -9 nautilus).

Looks like you'll need to remerge nautilus with USE="debug" and FEATURES="nostrip". Try the latest version of nautilus.
I remerged nautilus with USE="debug" and FEATURES="nostrip" (same version) and the problem was gone. Then after remerging without USE="debug" and FEATURES="nostrip" it worked as it should, too. So I suppose something strange went wrong as I emerged it first that was fixed by simply remerge it.
