After reading again Set Hallstrom's post I looked at my

      /usr/share/applications/defaults.list and found it had
      inode/directory=nautilus-folder-handler.desktop

As I do not have Nautilus on my system I changed the inode/directory entry to point to PCManFM but that change had no effect.
I then investigated the default applications using lxsession-default-apps and found the default file manager unset so set it to PCManFM. That appears to have resolved my issue, now when I click "Show in File Manager" the folder opens in PCManFM.
So perhaps the cause of this problem is the uninstallation of Nautilus which leaves the system with no default file manager set.
