The first major cause I've found is http://trac.webkit.org/changeset/57668.

Things happen like this:

-On launch, WebKit initializes databases in WebKitInitializeDatabasesIfNecessary()
-In that method the first thing it tries to do is:
    DatabaseTracker::tracker().setDatabaseDirectoryPath(databasesDirectoryPath());
-In r57668, populating the origins was moved to the constructor.  Other than rote refactoring, it's not immediately clear to me why this was necessary.
-So when that initialization code runs, it creates the tracker, whose c'tor tries to populate the origins, but the database path hasn't been set, so that fails.

And after it fails once the tracker is in a pretty bogus state.

The fix for this might be very, very easy, but I can't get to it for an hour or two.
