gnome-shell crashes instead of displaying a login screen. It seems the cause is a package version mismatch in mutter-common:

ii gir1.2-mutter-13:amd64 45.3-1ubuntu1 amd64 GObject introspection data for Mutter
ii libmutter-13-0:amd64 45.3-1ubuntu1 amd64 window manager library from the Mutter window manager
ii libmutter-13-dev:amd64 45.3-1ubuntu1 amd64 Development files for the Mutter window manager
ii libmutter-test-13 45.3-1ubuntu1 amd64 Test helper library for GNOME's window manager library
ii mutter 45.3-1ubuntu1 amd64 Example window manager using GNOME's window manager library
ii mutter-13-tests 45.3-1ubuntu1 amd64 Tests for GNOME's window manager library
ii mutter-common 46.0-1ubuntu6 all shared files for the Mutter window manager
ii mutter-common-bin 45.3-1ubuntu1 amd64 shared programs for the Mutter window manager

Downgrading mutter-common to https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/mutter/45.3-1ubuntu1/+build/27621415/+files/mutter-common_45.3-1ubuntu1_all.deb appears to fix it.
