I just ran across this, which elaborates on the selenium analog and gives a short blurb about the tellurium analog. From "Selenium, Tellurium, and
Polonium", by K. W. Bagnall (a freestanding 1966 book and also chapter 24 of Comprehensive Inorganic Chemistry, 1973)

Can't wait for someone to make the polonium version!!

There is in fact an experimental procedure for selenium nitride in Brauer p.435/436, one of many highly reactive compounds prepared by extraordinarily
brave and/or foolish German chemists in the 1920s and 1930s.
When a procedure in Brauer starts with an explicit warning about how explosive it is (which for context, you don't get with e.g. hydrazoic acid or
chlorine dioxide), you know it is not to be taken lightly at all. And the procedure finishes like this:
"Pure selenium nitride is best stored under benzene because of its explosive nature. The dry substance may not be placed in glass stoppered bottles
since the contents generally explode when such bottles are opened. Cardboard boxes are the best containers."
There is no procedure for tellurium nitride; I can only imagine it's even less stable, and even if polonium nitride could be prepared and isolated, it
would probably self-destruct due to its high radioactivity.
