Appears to be this issue:

https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/nautilus/-/issues/4014

I can workaround it by ensuring that ~/.config/user-dirs.dirs has this 
set (even if the directory doesn't exist):

XDG_TEMPLATES_DIR="$HOME/Templates"

Having it set to $HOME/ seems to cause the problem.

I see hundreds of these entries in journalctl otherwise:
