Yes, a bug, but perhaps in Ubuntu and its derivatives rather than GnuCash, or perhaps the Ubuntu package. Using a Debian Stable VM in the GnuCash File>Open dialog, when I select "Computer" from "Other Locations" I get a full listing of my root directory and have no trouble navigating the /media directory.
If I mount a USB drive it shows up as its own item in the sidebar which, when selected, reveals its path as /media/john/74AB-2AA0. I can navigate to that path starting from the root directory as well as use the sidebar item.
