After a lot of tracking down, I think this must have been due to a localised
problem with subversion.  Function ARDOUR_UI::get_session_parameters() has
a switch statement (line 2354) that starts off like this:-

   switch (new_session_dialog->which_page()) {

   case NewSessionDialog::OpenPage:
    goto loadit;   <--- NOTE THESE
    break;           <--- TWO LINES

   case NewSessionDialog::EnginePage:
    if (new_session_dialog->engine_control.interface_chosen() &&
!session_path.empty()) {
     goto loadit;
    } else {
     goto try_again;
    }
    break;

previously, the same section looked like this:-

   switch (new_session_dialog->which_page()) {

   case NewSessionDialog::OpenPage:
   case NewSessionDialog::EnginePage:
    goto loadit;
    break;

What had happened was that the two indicated lines had somehow got left out
of the svn update.  Adding them has fixed the problem.
