Additional information

This worked as recently as this morning, sudo dnf history doesn’t indicate any updates applied in that timeframe.

System info for my actual vault:

SYSTEM INFO:
Obsidian version: v1.6.7
Installer version: v1.6.7
Operating system: #1 SMP PREEMPT_DYNAMIC Thu Jul 11 19:29:01 UTC 2024 6.9.9-200.fc40.x86_64

Plugins enabled: 2
1: Git v2.24.3
2: Pandoc Plugin v0.4.1

RECOMMENDATIONS:
Community plugins: for bugs, please first try updating all your plugins to latest. If still not fixed, please try to make the issue happen in the Sandbox Vault or disable community plugins.

OK, this appears to be an issue with Dolphin and not Obsidian. In the system save dialog, selecting a folder from the main UI area (right pane,) results in no output on the console and no PDF. Selecting a folder from the favorites/shortcuts area in the left column results in the PDF workflow working correctly. I can’t delete the original post due to an error I’m getting, but will look at this as a KDE Dolphin bug, sorry.
