This does not even need to be implemented in Nautilus, it can be
implemented as a simple D-Bus service (in Python, C#, C, C++, ... every
language for which D-Bus bindings exist), which simply calls nautilus
and/or gnome-open appropriately.

It's only 5 methods to implement (well DisplayFolderAndSelect will not
be possible with Nautilus, but that can fallback to DisplayFolder). See:

http://svn.xfce.org/svn/xfce/thunar/trunk/thunar/thunar-dbus-service-infos.xml

Maybe you know some python guy willing to hack up a 20 lines script. ;-)

The wrapper must be registered as org.xfce.FileManager service with the
message bus.

Nope.
