What creates the files named (null).* in nemo user home dir?

Why are there constantly coming files named (null).something popping up in the nemo user home directory?

e.g.

[nemo@localhost ~]$ ls -1 \(null\).*
(null).04ZSAX
(null).0W4OBX
(null).36YABX
(null).492WBX
(null).4I9YAX
(null).7AFTBX
(null).9KVHBX
(null).A0GRAX
(null).C7WRBX
(null).DQ15AX

(null).N6CFBX
(null).NO2IBX
(null).NV6RBX
(null).P6HXBX
(null).PKDWBX
(null).QZ1IBX
(null).UO1OBX

Something is obviously not cleaning up after itself and therefore wasting storage space and inodes. Please fix? :)

[update] ran the files above through file(1) and updated the list. They're all images, and they're all podcast-related, so I'm guessing this is a bug in gPodder.

[update2] so there's indication that this doesn't have to do with gPodder, but rather with the media app. Can we please have more confirmations?
