The error I'm getting is

Geany tried to access the Unix Domain socket of another instance running as another user.
This is a fatal error and Geany will now quit.

I'm aware of #294, but I'm not running geany as root. This error occurs whenever I start an instance of geany, then either start another instance or open a file with geany (through right click -> open with geany).

While an instance of geany is running, ls -l .config/geany/ | grep socket shows

lrwxrwxrwx. 1 root root 60 Feb 26 14:11 geany_socket_Starlight__0 -> /tmp/geany_socket.fcdcdb1b

If I understand correctly, the owner of this file should be me, not root.

I suspect that this problem is related to the way I've set up my home directory - it's on an NTFS partition. (More accurately, .config/geany is symlinked to a directory on an NTFS partition.)
