Possibly an upstream issue - perhaps triggered by your chosen locale.

Better create an issue with the relevant upstream repository - linux-mint · GitHub.

Manjaro does not fix upstream errors - neither do Arch - so the best way forward is upstream Linux Mint.

Thanks to this, I have narrowed down the cause of the problem.
I use emojis a lot.
Like this:

 fd -e nemo_action -x grep -P '\AName=' | cat -n
 
     5	Name=💡💡czkawka "%N" しゃっくり
    25	Name=自炊📕🗡フォーマッター "%N"
    40	Name=🐔CWD2 (dir) s/^/%p/
    41	Name=🐫🐫リネームダウン🐫 %p
    49	Name=💾💾TIMESHIFT_ST15.sh💾💾

I accidentally forgot to report the follow-up of this issue.

Locale is not a factor. Is it a regression?

Specifically, the cause is a change in the handling of metacharacters in the syntax. nemo_aciton.

For years, there have been users who have pointed out these issues with every major update. They are fixed each time, but they come back like zombies. You can no longer find the old discussions on github.

I am only reporting the phenomenon. I will not state whether it is good or bad or the direction. Manjaro is not involved. I do not express my opinion.
