The log you shared above points to gnome-control-center:

https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-control-center/-/blob/main/panels/privacy/camera/cc-camera-page.c?ref_type=heads#L339

This is not a gnome-snapshot bug as it request the permissions but 
gnome-control-center does not grant it for some reason.
Thus reassigning.
