Sorry, but I don't see any unescaped $ there, all are escaped as \\$.

Same here, I don't see any unclosed quote.

Also, where does that log appear, and how can I reproduce it?

BTW, emacsclient.desktop in 29.0.90 is identical to the file shipped
with Emacs 28.1 and 28.2, except for replacing "placeholder" by "sh"
for the command name.

I had validated them with this. However, I cannot reproduce these errors
(with desktop-file-utils-0.26). All I get is one warning:

   $ desktop-file-validate etc/emacsclient.desktop 
   etc/emacsclient.desktop: hint: value item "TextEditor" in key "Categories" in group "Desktop Entry" can be extended with another category among the following categories: Utility
   $ desktop-file-validate etc/emacsclient-mail.desktop 
   $ 

This warning is already present in emacs.desktop of Emacs 23.4 (I don't
have any earlier versions at hand here) and is unrelated to the latest
series of changes.

As it turns out, this was processed with an outdated version of
desktop-file-validate.

I can reproduce your report with desktop-file-utils-0.24.

The reported errors are due to this bug in the validator tool:
https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/xdg/desktop-file-utils/-/issues/56

Not a problem with the Emacs desktop files, so I suggest to close
this bug.
