Why does sudo gnome-text-editor throw GLib-GIO-CRITICAL error?

Whenever I try to launch a system file to edit it using sudo gnome-text-editor, I get the error

(gnome-text-editor:64141): GLib-GIO-CRITICAL **: 17:47:31.731: g_dbus_connection_emit_signal: assertion 'object_path != NULL && g_variant_is_object_path (object_path)' failed

This occurs multiple times for each attempt at opening a file. Why is this?
