This looks like a result of the automatic generation of documentation
from the C source.  There is no Glib::strfreev() and you don't need to
try and call it.  You can pass the return value directly to a
std::vector<Glib::ustring>  container.

I suggest you enter a documentation bug for it.

You should take anything further up on this on the gtkmm mailing list,
which is the mailing list for the c++ bindings for gtk+.

Incidentally, are uris always in the utf-8 codeset, or are they
dependent on the filename codeset (which may not be utf-8, depending on
how you have set the G_BROKEN_FILENAMES and G_FILENAME_ENCODING
environmental variables)?  I don't know the answer to that, but if they
are not guaranteed to be in the utf-8 charset you would be better off
putting them in a container of std::string objects before you do
anything with them.
