Those are actually the same file--one's a link to the other.

Weird:  if quartz-wm were missing, (check on that) then I'd expect X11  
not to start at all.

One option would be to copy  /usr/X11R6/etc/xinit/xinitrc over to your  
home directory and see what happens then.  That doesn't reference twm,  
so it should start quartz-wm instead.
