Nope. The problem is a cockpit error.
Urm, no great surprise!

As on UNIX, "~" is expanded by the shell but only when it begins a word.
Shells don't expand things that are preceded by an '='.
AHA!!!
508 $ strace "xemacs -debug-init -debug-paths 2>~/.xemacs/startup.log"

You are telling strace to run a program called:
"xemacs -debug-init -debug-paths 2>~/.xemacs/startup.log"
Don't quote the arguments to strace. strace doesn't start a shell
to interpret things like 2> or "~".
Also very helpful. Many thanks!
