I don't think the resolution here is correct. Fedora's Workstation Wayland session is supposed to run apps that aren't yet ported to be native Wayland apps just fine; that's what XWayland is for. Almost all apps are still running through XWayland by default, in fact. So this is not an expected outcome.
OK, I reproduced and filed a crash report with abrt, so marking as a dupe of that. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of bug 1384638 ***
