Thanks for investigating Tobi, I've been experiencing this too, but
didn't get anywhere trying to use GDB, so thanks for tracking it down!

This NAUTILUS_EXTENSION_PATH is a Guix specific modification made to
nautilus at build time, so yeah, something is up here and it's down to
us to fix it.

Maybe the duplication of the directory in the search path is something
to fix, but I guess the code in nautilus using the search path probalbly
needs to be smarter to avoid loading plugins twice.
