Comment (by mlennert):

 Apparently this is a larger issue:

 Interestingly, for all these modules no GUI window is created
 automatically if they are launched without '--ui' from the command line. I
 have the feeling this is new.

 When I launch the modules from the GUI menu, I get a window with the error
 message, but clicking 'OK' lets me use the module normally.
