lilypond-invoke-editor seemingly is a GUILE script, so it needs a
working GUILE interpreter.  It would appear that the installation of
GUILE you pointed it to is not really working.  Again, I'm somewhat at a
loss to figure out how to fix this on MacOSX.  It would appear that the
installation is not done correctly: that would point to a GUB problem
(our installer).

(Oops, replied only to David...)

Guile hasn’t been installed on my Mac (except as part of Lilypond). That is, the command guile didn’t work. I tried sudo port install guile, and it put a binary of version 1.8.8 in /opt/local/bin. Perhaps try that out.
