Same for me.

That's strange. For me it works no matter what mode I select. I select  
Tree mode, click a folder in the ”tree”, the folder opens to the right, so  
I right click a folder there and I can then select ”Open in a terminal”. A  
terminal opens and the current directory is the one I right clicked in  
Nautilus.

Works for me (Nautilus 2.32.0, Ubuntu 10.10). Exactly what are you doing  
to fail?

Well, you need to right click a folder, not a file.
There are actually some more things you can not do in List view when the  
window is full of files, like creating a new folder, for instance. Maybe  
that should be added to the bug report, if not already done.
