Directories created with garbage filenames, might be related to logging in to gnome and/or `gnome-shell: assertion 'path != NULL' failed`

It looks like these messages happen at the time I log in. These messages look like they could be associated with timestamps, that I see for directories with garbage filenames that have been mysteriously created in my home directory. All of the directories seem to match messages, but there seem to be a couple of messages which do not have a matching directory.

My current version of gnome-shell is gnome-shell-3.30.2-1.fc29.x86_64. Running journalctl | grep gnome-shell-3 shows that the upgrade to this version occurred on Jan 08, when I upgraded from Fedora 28 to Fedora 29. And the first of the assertion messages happened on Jan 08.
Are the garbage filenames caused by a bug in software packaged by Fedora 29?
If so, when this is fixed in Fedora 29, which package version(s) fix this bug? :-P
(Note to self: try running fatrace in a text console, while you log in to gnome.)
