Finally - I have the solution (at least for me!). We are using LDAP for user accounts via pam_ldap.
I did not have nscd (name service cache daemon) installed. Although it makes no difference to anything else, I did try installing it and bingo! thunderbird works again. This is still clearly a bug - but at least I have a workaround. Could this be your problem too Christian?
