When I web search this error:

I see hits for it for many Linux distros too, along with a similar variant
for "directory" monitor type.
I wasn't able to find any definitive fixes, most of the responses
essentially amounted to voodoo.
The Linux systems that experienced this error also had an exception and
a segfault, so segfault may not be unique to OI or Illumos. It might just
be secondary to the "local file monitor type".
So the primary root cause may be something different.
I think you're correct.
It's possible that glib wasn't compiled with inotify/fam support.
fam is important for NFS-mounted directories. Note this:
# gio monitor -d /
gio: file:///: Unable to find default local file monitor type
# gio monitor -m /a
gio: file:///: Unable to find default local file monitor type
env GIO_USE_FILE_MONITOR=help gio monitor -d /
Supported arguments for GIO_USE_FILE_MONITOR environment variable:
====> (none) <=====
