If you know how to provoke this problem, please file a bug report with
as much information as you can:

From my poking around, I gather that that XcodeSnapshots is actually
a disk image mounted in the temp directory? Could that image have
gotten corrupted somehow?
Yes, the backing store for Xcode Snapshots is a disk image, and while
it could possibly get corrupted, I don't think that's necessarily
what's causing this problem.
It doesn't really show up anywhere, but Finder shows XcodeSnapshots
is an alias, and double-clicking it opens a volume named Snapshots
at the "computer" level, even though opening the "computer" does not
show that volume.
You're typically not supposed to see, or have to care about, either
the disk image, or its corresponding mounted volume. They are an
implementation detail, and private to, the Xcode Snapshot machinery
and hidden to the extent that they can be.
Should just nuke the disk image and start from scratch? Where does
it live? Other suggestions?
You can nuke it, but please don't do that before you've collected
enough data for a bug report:
~/Library/Application Support/Developer/Shared/
SnapshotRepository.sparseimage
Alternatively, just move it aside to see if that fixes the problem.
Quit Xcode before you do so, it will be re-created as needed.
Thanks,
