OK, so it looks as though the offending code is: gnome-shell has been told to run in "gdm mode" via "gnome-shell --mode=gdm" in /usr/share/gdm/greeter/applications/gnome-shell.desktop. A "mode" is just a Javascript file found in the .../gnome-shell/modes directory in some prefix. Javascript code in gnome-shell searches for it, but doesn't deal with EACCES in a way that works on your system. Reassigning the bug to gnome-shell.
