OnlyShowIn services are not propagated in mismatching sessions, that is not
only the expected but the specified behavior. [1]
If you want to use the nautilus service from KDE, copy it to
~/.local/share/applications and get rid of that line.

Here it opens the service selector for the inode/directory mimetype where i can
attempt to add a service...

As expected.

As expected.

well, not expected but probably should be....

>> 5. For some reason, the "nautilus" command is recognized now
That is indeed NOT expected.

The "bug" is that it's actually possible to *force* a service into the mimetype
selector, yes.
That's however somewhere in kdelibs (but i've no idea where precisely either,
sorry)
