I do not know the cause of the problem you see, but here are some comments:

- I think you should write (tool-bar-mode 1) now to turn on tool-bar-mode.

- I can not reproduce the traceback when I just set 
after-make-frame-functions after start up. (I did not try to put it .emacs)

- What is the value of your after-make-frame-functions? From the 
traceback it looks a bit strange.
