And to those who don't know, the script folder is located in
~/.gnome2/nautilus-scripts
Right, and actually all my old scripts are still there, but they don't appear in the menu anymore. They are organized in directories, and the name of these dirs is the only thing the menu will show. Any script inside them is not shown.
I also tried to drop a new script inside that folder, but nothing happened!

Hmmm... could it possibly be that your scripts aren't executable? I've just tested on my directory, and chmod-ing scripts to 664 makes the Script option disappear. Changing them back to 775 makes the Script option appear again.

I found out the following: after deleting any entries for "any/any" and "application/x-shellscript" in the mime databases (see below), the scripts started to work again. It seems that the Script-Folder-Logic not only checks the executable permission, but also the default action for shell scripts. If the default action somehow maps to an editor, the scripts do not show up.
The files I modified:
~/.gnome/application-info/user.applications (for gedit, which I had associated with .sh files) ~/.gnome/mime-info/user.keys
~/.gnome/mime-info/user.mime
