Anyone figured it out?
I have the same problem with video files on Ventura and even before that.
I made a call to costumer support. I thought I got to the bottom of it with an app that I installed on the laptop( MacBook Air M1), it was a tool for my external hdd(WD passport ultra). I uninstalled it and for a while everything was good. Then it happened again.

This issue was brought up back in May 2022 with Monterey:
It is currently four pages long, but I think there were a few posts within it with some clues about what has happening (at least for some people) which may help you to avoid the issue. At least for some cases, the problem may be related to libraries some third party apps may be using and how they access memory.
Maybe try booting into Safe Mode to see if you still have the problem as this prevents third party software from automatically launching during boot & login. Does it occur when using the Finder or when accessing files from within another app?
How common is this problem?
I read the thread you linked but it really didn't clarify things for me. True, some people were using/doing strange things that I would never do ... but the underlying issue of Finder corrupting copied files is very worrisome.
I have not yet moved to Monterey ... but was preparing to do so. If Finder corruption of copied files is a real issue, I probably will not do it.
Yes, I know This issue was brought up back in May 2022 with Monterey. I know that post.Because it was a few months back I could not ask questions anymore there so I had to open a new post.
