Let me explain exactly what is going on. It is not my .xsession that
relies on any Athena tcsh features; it's $initdir/cshrc, which relies on
$host in this release. (In prior releases, it didn't rely on $host,
thus my confusion about whether csh had changed to tcsh or not.)
Here is good text for the release notes:
.xsession files or other scripts beginning with #!/bin/csh
may fail on the SGIs. The workaround is to change the first line to
#!/bin/athena/tcsh
or
#!/bin/csh -f
I keep the word "may" from Greg's text. I don't use "will" because the
global cshrc might get fixed.
For those interested in more details of the change:

Move the setting of XUSERFILESEARCHPATH to global cshrc, so that
remote logins using remote X displays will still find the proper
resources.
