[libreoffice-users] Error opening file. (The folder contents could not be displayed Operation not supported)

File/Open produces the following nag screen:

   The folder contents could not be displayed
   Operation not supported

The message began several releases ago and exists with 3.6.4.  
Fortunately, the operation is supported as I can select and open a file 
after clicking OK.

I reported this as bug 55165.  My original thinking was the problem is 
distribution based.  However, my current thinking is that I log in as 
root with a / home directory - root:x:0:0:root/:/bin/bash.  I realize 
it's popular to use root root or log in as a non-root user to a non-root 
home directory.  However, I choose to use root at / and have done so for 
years.  LibreOffice only recently began presenting the message.

I can't find old releases for Linux and can't test exactly when the 
message began.  I'd appreciate if someone would test my theory.  This 
certainly not the world's biggest problem and I realize I operate 
against the grain, but I don't believe the message should appear.
