I have heard people run into this before, but I don’t have any theory 
of why it happens.

That sucks… but I guess it means it would be possible to do some 
further analysis.

 From the sample it looks like the event loop (waiting for documents to 
be saved) deadlocks (in system code).

Just to rule out one variable, does it also happen if you use keyboard 
to select Save All?

For next build I can delay the save until next event loop iteration, 
perhaps that mitigates the problem.

The action is Go → Enclosing Folder and also works when focus is in 
file browser or when using Go → Go to File… (⌘T).

You should be able to rebind the key (via System Preferences) to reclaim 
the key. Not sure what else to suggest.

Se “Edit → Find” submenu for key equivalents related to find 
(dialog). Replace All is ⌃⌘G.
