OK, a bit late, but on verbose, I get:

Sep 30 07:57:56 chocobo xdg-desktop-portal[1730]: XDP: providing portal org.freedesktop.portal.FileChooser
Sep 30 07:57:56 chocobo xdg-desktop-portal[1730]: XDP: Falling back to gtk.portal for org.freedesktop.impl.portal.AppChooser
Sep 30 07:58:21 chocobo xdg-desktop-portal[1730]: XDP: Failed to create FileManager proxy: Error calling StartServiceByName for org.freedesktop.FileManager1: Timeout was reached
Sep 30 07:58:21 chocobo xdg-desktop-portal[1730]: XDP: providing portal org.freedesktop.portal.OpenURI
Sep 30 07:58:21 chocobo xdg-desktop-portal[1730]: XDP: Falling back to gtk.portal for org.freedesktop.impl.portal.Print

I have Thunar installed and I think there may be just a dependency loop:

Sep 30 07:58:21 chocobo dbus-daemon[1433]: [session uid=1000 pid=1433] Successfully activated service 'org.freedesktop.portal.Desktop'
Sep 30 07:58:22 chocobo dbus-daemon[1433]: [session uid=1000 pid=1433] Successfully activated service 'org.freedesktop.FileManager1'

Sep 30 07:58:22 chocobo systemd[1402]: Started Thunar file manager.

So, the bug may be more in Thunar. This looks like:

Personally, I don't care much about org.freedesktop.FileManager1 and I
would prefer this dbus service to not be provided at all. I'll try to
mask thunar.service to avoid this.
