I can reliably reproduce the issue after creating an encrypted Private
directory with ecryptfs-setup-private (see
https://help.ubuntu.com/community/EncryptedPrivateDirectory#Setup_Your_Encrypted_Private_Directory).
The problem stems from the fact that the home interface doesn't allow
reading/writing to hidden folders in $HOME, and the ~/Private folder is
actually backed by encrypted data in ~/.Private.
This is not specific to chromium, other strictly confined snaps using
the home interface would be similarly affected.
Interestingly, saving a file to the folder still works, despite the
error and the fact that the file dialog is unable to show the contents
of the folder.
