I had the same problem on FEX-2301. I proceeded to use an older commit that works to start steam for the first time and logged in. Later I went back to 2301 and it also magically worked. So it seems like this crash only occurs on first startup, not on subsequent ones.

[Sonicadvance1]

As far as I can tell, this looks like this is a bug in the current PPA release. Rebuilding 2301 locally doesn't reproduce but installing the PPA version does. Not sure what managed to break there.

[Sonicadvance1]

This /might/ be fixed with https://github.com/FEX-Emu/FEX/pull/2420 merged. There was a nasty race condition which manifested similarly.

[Sonicadvance1]

Should be fixed by #2714
