Both issue and work around (DISABLE_WAYLAND=1 snap run plex-desktop) confirmed.

Most convenient way to resolve is by adding the environment variable to /var/lib/snapd/desktop/applications/plex-desktop_plex-desktop.desktop as in:

[Desktop Entry]
X-SnapInstanceName=plex-desktop
Type=Application
Name=Plex
Comment=
Exec=env DISABLE_WAYLAND=1 BAMF_DESKTOP_FILE_HINT=/var/lib/snapd/desktop/applications/plex-desktop_plex-desktop.desktop /snap/bin/plex-desktop
Icon=/snap/plex-desktop/16/meta/gui/icon.png
Terminal=false
