Why this plugin creates folders like table: 0x7ff7147570f8, table: 0x7f5f685c8e60 ?

[Deluxe8841]

I just installed obsidian.nvim and it works fine, but I noticed it also creates empty folders every time I open Neovim with names like:

table: 0x7ff7147570f8
table: 0x7f5f685c8e60

They’re empty and don’t seem to affect usage, but it happens on every launch.
Is this expected behavior or a bug?

I use MiniDeps and this is the config:

require("obsidian").setup({
	-- A list of workspace names, paths, and configuration overrides.
	-- If you use the Obsidian app, the 'path' of a workspace should generally be
	-- your vault root (where the `.obsidian` folder is located).
	-- When obsidian.nvim is loaded by your plugin manager, it will automatically set
	-- the workspace to the first workspace in the list whose `path` is a parent of the
	-- current markdown file being edited.
	workspaces = {
		{
			name = "zettels",
			path = "~/Documents/notes",
			overrides = {
				notes_subdir = {
					"journal",
				},
				templates = {
					"~/Documents/notes/templates",
				},
			},
		},
		{
			name = "para",
			path = "~/Documents/para",
			-- -- Optional, override certain settings.
			-- overrides = {
			-- 	notes_subdir = "notes",
			-- },
		},
	},

	-- Alternatively - and for backwards compatibility - you can set 'dir' to a single path instead of
	-- 'workspaces'. For example:
	-- dir = "~/vaults/work",

	-- Optional, if you keep notes in a specific subdirectory of your vault.
	-- notes_subdir = "notes",

	-- Optional, set the log level for obsidian.nvim. This is an integer corresponding to one of the log
	-- levels defined by "vim.log.levels.*".

		-- Optional, if you want to change the date format of the default alias of daily notes.
		alias_format = "%B %-d, %Y",
		-- Optional, default tags to add to each new daily note created.

		-- Optional, if you want to automatically insert a template from your template directory like 'daily.md'
		template = nil,
	},

	-- Optional, completion of wiki links, local markdown links, and tags using nvim-cmp.
	completion = {
		-- Set to false to disable completion.
		nvim_cmp = true,
		-- Trigger completion at 2 chars.
		min_chars = 2,
	},

	-- Optional, configure key mappings. These are the defaults. If you don't want to set any keymappings this
	-- way then set 'mappings = {}'.
	mappings = {
		-- Overrides the 'gf' mapping to work on markdown/wiki links within your vault.

			action = function()
				return require("obsidian").util.gf_passthrough()

			opts = { noremap = false, expr = true, buffer = true },

		-- Toggle check-boxes.
		["<leader>ch"] = {

			end,
			opts = { buffer = true, expr = true },
		},
	},

	-- Where to put new notes. Valid options are

lol ok, I just occasionally come back here to check haha
