I wouldn't call it serious in any case, since there are workarounds. But it's not particularly important if it's the OS or in an app that is preinstalled and integral to the OS, in my view.
Got a tip for us?

Serious bug in MacOS Ventura

I agree - Apple is responsible for this problem anyway, and can only fix this one with an OS update, as it is inseparably interconnected with the OS (in strong contradiction to software like Python, which was bundled with pre-Monterey Versions of macOS but exists completely independent from it - what an obviously inappropriate comparison).
The question remains how serious this bug really is. From what I've seen, it couldn't be much less important.
Does the same problem occur if you save your screenshots to a different folder or only on Desktop? Desktop is sometimes handled a little differently. I don’t like a bunch of screenshots clutterint up my desktop so I configured them to go do ~\Pictures\screenshots. If this problem doesn’t reproduce in other directories, that might be a simple workaround.

? The only difficult thing I've found with Feedback on MacOS is finding the Feedback App. You have to search for it (command spacebar) as it doesn't seem to show up in Applications.
Although checking it I see that one problem that I submitted (minutes long waits for folders to display contents) has disappeared.
Search path for the app is: /System/Library/CoreServices/Applications
I 100% hate hyperbole and click bait. It is NOT a serious bug with MacOS, and it is, at best, an edge case that is a slight inconvenience.
I'll just throw this out there, and also caveat it by saying that I'm not even on Ventura on my M1 MBP (still on Monterey). That said...
This could possibly be a serious bug in MacOS. What if the issue is related to the desktop, where the user logged in may not be given the privileges to write to its own ~/Desktop directory, or if for some reason, the process trying to write to ~/Desktop requires some sort of elevated privileges to do so. Yes, ownership and permissions can be changed on the directory, but if there is an issue with the Desktop directory itself, or if the process writing the file to ~/Desktop does not have the permission to write the file there (despite it being the same user that owns ~/Desktop), then there could be a major bug there that needs to be addressed.
In short, one may have to look deeper at the issue instead of what you see at the UI to determine if it is click bait, hyperbole, an actual bug, or otherwise.
