Yes. Order of events:
1. Installed icedove to try it out. Failed as described in this bug.
2. Downgraded libc6 to 2.11.x. icedove worked!
3. Upgraded libc6 to 2.13.x again. icedove still worked!
4. Installed "external editor" extension (manually, as a
non-privileged user). icedove failed again.
5. Downgraded libc6 to 2.11.x. icedove works!
6. ...
Well, you get the idea. I've removed my ~/.icedove since then, though.
Another detail: it takes 0.699 s (i.e., a long time) of icedove doing
nothing obvious before it prints the "symbol lookup error" message.
There is a ~/.icedove directory at the end of the process. Based on
an strace, icedove is generating
~/.icedove/odzfq4j9.default/compreg.dat.tmp
which looks like
