It didn't crash. I added a

(debug)

to guided-tour-find-menubar-help-menu, and traced from there, and 
(after dealing with the empty menubar and default-menubar vars) 
eventually ran into the mentioned

Debugger entered--Lisp error: (wrong-type-argument consp nil) 
  signal(wrong-type-argument (consp nil)) 
  signal-error(wrong-type-argument (consp nil)) 
  normal-top-level() 

around frame.el:392		(set-frame-properties frame-initial-frame newprops)

I figured that slipping a (debug) in frame.el might speed up things, 
and then found that it gets dumped with xemacs.

Cheerio,
Hauke
