Yes, I had that problem when I selected several profiles (or whatever)
to get lots of packages ftp'd to my jaz drive. It went away when I cut
back.
This is absolute hearsay, but I read here that tm might be the cause of the
problem. So try purging it, install emacs20, then reinstall tm (if you
need it). If it's not that, look at any packages that fiddle with lisp or
emacs directories, e.g. /etc/emacs20/...
