This is also reproducible in Disks aka Disk Utility aka gnome-disk-utility.

Steps:
1. Select target disk on the left.
2. Click the gears button in the top right.
3. Select "Format Disk"
4. Choose any settings
5. Click "Format"
6. Wait 10-15 seconds for error to appear
*Note: This is only reproducible if there is an existing partition table on the device. These steps will not reproduce the issue if the partition table is clear, e.g. after a secure erase.
