Nautilus "open in terminal" not working correctly, how to fix?

Here's what I did:

I did a fresh installation with a Ubuntu GNOME daily image[1] in a 
virtual machine. I upgraded all packages, restarted, installed zsh then 
I saw that the behavior is still there. I do make an observation though

Nautilus (vanilla)  by default doesn't have "Open in Terminal" but in 
the installation I did it appeared. One would have to install 
nautilus-open-terminal to get the functionality (which is what I did in 
Fedora):

nautilus-open-terminal/vivid 0.20-1 amd64
   nautilus plugin for opening terminals in arbitrary paths

Anyway, if I install nautilus-open-terminal everything works just fine, 
zsh works, fish works, but now there are duplicates in your context menu 
"Open in Terminal"

So... maybe I'm going crazy or something but these are the results I'm 
getting[2]. nautilus-open-terminal works, there's no doubt about that. 
So yea, in a way I resolved my issue. Now I just don't know how to get 
rid of the duplicated "open in terminal" text.

P.S I installed Ubuntu GNOME and it hasn't been even 24 hours yet as we 
speak.
