Today, dist-upgrade brought to sid the new upstream release of tracker, namely 3.7.1-1. With that, the problem I had reported disappeared: now tracker-miner-fs runs for a finite time, and produces a working database. The command tracker3 status now runs correctly, as do nautilus searches using tracker3.
