I looked at this a bit more but I don't know what I'm missing.

On Ubuntu for the default Ubuntu session, we override some .desktop's
using /usr/share/ubuntu/applications/. For Ubuntu on Wayland, we have
to include those .desktop files in
/usr/share/ubuntu-wayland/applications/ .

In 17.10, I believe we used /ubuntu/ and /ubuntu-xorg/ for the 2 sessions.

The Debian blacklist uses /usr/share/gnome/applications/ which feels
like it should be correct but it wasn't working for me in VirtualBox.
It did work for the GNOME on Xorg session. I tried locally adding
.desktop's to /gnome-wayland/ and /gnome-xorg/ but they didn't seem to
make a difference.

Thanks,
