Well, I don't know what the actual problem was but blowing away
.gnome/GnuCash, .gnome/accels/GnuCash and .gnucash fixed the problem.
It appears there's been an incompatible change somewhere (though it
also suggests a lack of error checking somewhere).

Pity I didn't think of that a week ago :-(.  (Though I did discover
a bug in regex(3) during my otherwise fruitless search through
gnucash's dependencies).
