Did you makes sure all thunderbird files/libraries are readable by world? I'd start by checking libraries.
ldd /usr/lib/MozillaThunderbird/thunderbird-bin
to get a list of the libraries it links.
I thought it might be something like that but didn't know how to firgure out which libraries it used. Thanks for the tidbit. The output of ldd[1] is the same as root and as myself (as expected, but I was just covering my bases by checking and verifying). Every[2] library that ldd tells me about for thunderbird-bin has permissions of 755. So unless write access is necessary (I wouldn't think so) it's not a library permission problem.
However I did notice that ldd said that a couple of the libraries weren't found (libmozjs.so and libxpcom.so, see [1]). Doing a locate on these names finds both in /usr/lib/MozillaThunderbird/. Grepping through run-mozilla.sh, I see it sets LD_LIBRARY_PATH to include /usr/lib/MozillaThunderbird, so thunderbird-bin should be able to find them. Just to double check I turned on debug output and sure 'nuff, there's /usr/lib/MozillaThunderbird as part of LD_LIBRARY_PATH. Both these two .so's are mod 755 as well.
Just to experiment, I tried changing the permissions on one of the libraries (libmozjs.so) to be 700 so that thunderbird-bin wouldn't be able to link it when run as a regular user. Running MozillaThunderbird on those circumstances actually produces useful error output[3]. Since I'm not seeing any such output in my case, I don't think it's a shared library problem at all (either not found or with wrong permissions).
Any other ideas?
