Today it crashes on my localhost ftp, too. I wonder why it worked
yesterday as the code should have crashed on any non-file:// URI.

Anyways here some investigation: 
There are bug reports on bugs.gnome.org [1] and launchpad [2]. [2]
states that the problem was fixed in [3]. The fix in [3] checks whether
the decoded URI is local or remote and extracts files into a temporary
directory if needed.

The first version to include the fix was 2.31.1. Does it make sense to
backport the fix?
