Hi Eero,
when a device is passed to the guest then it is detached from the host before.
Once the passthrough is done it will be re-attached to the host.
If the device is - like in your case a USB drive - something that triggers 
actions in the host those will happen.

I assume what happens is:
- detaches from host
- tries to passthrough to the guest
- fails to passthrough
- re-attaches to the host
- nautilus popup triggered as if you'd plug in the USB drive

You can configure the host to not trigger such popups if that really is an 
issue.
But I have no idea why on a retry it would open multiple such windows thou.

The actual problem we need to solve IMHO is why the passthrough didn't work in 
the first place.
... reading your logs ...
