This looks like a tracker issue; I'd bet that if you get tracker-status to work properly, you wont get the hang in the filechooser.
I'm reassigning to tracker. I don't think tracker-status has a verbose mode, perhaps you could attach tracker.strace from "strace -f -o tracker.strace tracker-status" to begin with?
