Just for posteriority: I see that assertion fail every time I start
icedove (Jessie) from the command line, it's nothing specific to
your problem. It hasn't affected functionality for me before, though,
so I seriously doubt it could have something to do with your issue.

What could have been your problem is some weird interaction between
running a icedove instance and an upgrade of icedove. I've seen
that break iceweasel before - until you either rebooted or manually
got rid of some SHM segments. Since you already rebooted, no way to
know for sure.
