Like the similar upstream bug https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/mutter/-/issues/1475, this appears to be caused by the intersection of:

 (a) GTK being used in the gnome-shell process (usually by extensions); and

 (b) The absence of an Xserver for GTK to connect to (Xwayland is only started on-demand now).

It looks like one possible offender using GTK is gnome-shell-extension-appindicator. I'm not sure about the other extensions, and it's hard to tell with desktop-icons-ng which in theory uses GTK in a safe way (in a separate client process).
