You found a bug no one saw before. My best guess is that when you
formatted the drive on the machine it isn't working you chose a
case-sensitive formatting option. The bug can be fixed by hand. You can
use a text editor to modify gnubg.x11 . In that file replace all
occurrences of:

Gnubg.app

with

gnubg.app

Notice the G is being changed from uppercase to lower case.

You can launch a simple text editor from the command line with:

nano /Applications/gnubg.app/Contents/MacOS/bin/gnubg.x11
