I updated to 10.15.1 and I’m not seeing any issues coming back.

When this was first discovered, I poked and playsd with various things
to no success quite a bit and perhaps I’ve got something in a different
state.

But eventually I took the advice of using ns-open-file-using-panel to do
directories on ~/Desktop, Downloads, and Documents (once each) and
I’ve not had any issues since.

I’m using one of the nightly builds of EmacsForMacOS:

GNU Emacs 27.0.50 (build 1, x86_64-apple-darwin18.7.0, NS appkit-1894.10 
Version 10.15.1 (Build 19B88)) of 2019-10-31

The timestamps indicate Oct. 9th.
