[BUG] yank-media doesn't work

When using the yank-media command to paste images, the results are inconsistent. This issue persists even when running Emacs with emacs -Q.

In some instances, the command successfully pastes the image.
At other times, it fails with the message: "yank-media: No handler in the current buffer for anything on the clipboard."
Alternatively, it may display: "Timed out waiting for property-notify event."

Occasionally, attempting the command twice in quick succession results in success on the second attempt, though this is rare.
Copying images directly from a web browser using the "Copy Image" option generally works without issue.However, copying images using the command grim -g "$(slurp)" - | wl-copy or from Telegram often results in the aforementioned errors.
Emacs : GNU Emacs 30.0.91 (build 1, x86_64-pc-linux-gnu, GTK+ Version 3.24.43, cairo version 1.18.0)

I am assuming that you're running the PGTK build.  I am quite sure this
is the same bug as bug#72254.  How recent is the build of your Emacs 30?
Does it include the fix for bug#72254: https://git.savannah.gnu.org/cgit/emacs.git/commit/?h=emacs-30&id=11e7ae3964e192b0e4bcc437a04278ee727e720b
