Not GNOME actually, but xdg-user-dirs[1]. A decent installation should
have this running in the user's session, and Nautilus allows you to
rename/move the directories and keep the configuration up-to-date as
expected.

the patch has been applied. Thanks.

Actually GNOME should do this. However if you kept upgrading GNOME over
time from an old installation, it might have missed it. Don't ask me
