It appears that the bug I'm observing in the 'testing' release has already
been reported against tgif (Debian bug #123557) and resolved (in tgif
4.1.40-2 and later, which are still only in 'unstable').

However, in case this diagnosis is of use to you:

Package: xlibs
Version: 4.1.0-9

Package: tgif
Version: 4.1.34-2

Looks like the tgif package is causing /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/app-defaults to be
installed as a directory rather than a symlink to a directory:

> # dpkg -S X11/app-defaults | grep -v ' /etc/X11/app-defaults'
> tgif: /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/app-defaults
> tgif: /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/app-defaults/Tgif
