I have modified webbrowser-app’s apparmor profile to refer to
"@{HOME}/@{XDG_DOWNLOAD_DIR}/" instead of "@{HOME}/Downloads/", but that
alone is not enough, I’m still getting the same error on my system with
a French locale.

Next I edited /etc/apparmor.d/tunables/xdg-user-dirs.d/site.local to set
the value of @{XDG_DOWNLOAD_DIR} to "Téléchargements", reloaded the
webbrowser-app profile, and that worked.

I’ll go ahead and submit a change to the browser policy to use
@{XDG_DOWNLOAD_DIR}, that can’t hurt either way. However we’ll still be
missing a mechanism that automatically sets the value of that variable
based on the user’s locale (third bullet point in
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/apparmor/+bug/1061693/comments/1).
