Maybe you had a copy in of the guile library in your home directory
at that time.

Did you start just "texmacs" or did you start it with a filename argument?
There used to be bug which consisted in texmacs trying to display a
popup saying "Please wait", and crashing when the main X window of
texmacs did not exist yet. This happened when the document to be loaded
at startup contained fonts that needed to be generated. But maybe this
bug has been resolved now.

Otherwise, can you do an "strace texmacs" and send the last lines
(not everything, please :-)
