I don't think that its the same cause...
Got the same problem on 20.04 LTS. Btw, Debian sid manages to get
chromium packged as a normal deb as well...
This is not really an advertisement for snap as it doesn't manage such
simple applications like a browser...

Title:
chromium-browser fails to start after upgrade to eoan
Status in chromium-browser package in Ubuntu:
Confirmed
Bug description:
did a distro upgrade to eoan through upon request of popup app in
ubuntu today
restarted the system
tried starting chromium-browser from the "Run Application" (Alt-F2)
Chromium should have started, nothing happened.
Tried again from a shell:
$ chromium-browser

value is not a clean path: "/misc/home/<username>/.Xauthority"
cannot perform operation: mount --rbind /home /tmp/snap.rootfs_gRwtXn//home:
Permission denied
apt-get --purge remove chromium-browser
apt-get install chromium-browser
exits successfully, after exclaiming some stuff about some snap, but
leaves me with
$ chromium-browser

Either the upgrade to eoan left my system broken, or chromium-browser is
broken.
