I finally got 1 hour or two to deal with this problem this afternoon. After a while, I found a place where the dumped lisp code from startup.el was finding a bogus number of arguments to pass to make-frame. This sounded like a bytecode bug, so out of curiosity, I just removed all dumped elcs and re-byte-compiled them. Guess what ... the crash is gone. I still don't really understand how this can have happened. There was not supposed to be any change in the bytecode lately right ? BTW: it seems that from severals 21.2 betas, my old crash preventing me from opening a frame on another display is gone too. Woao, '98 ends up in a real festival !!
