I solved my own problem - the relevant log sections are these:

Jun 17 x:16:45.000 [warn] Failed to open GEOIP file ./Data/Tor/geoip.
We've been configured to use (or avoid) nodes in certain countries, and
we need GEOIP information to figure out which ones they are.
Jun 17 x:16:45.000 [warn] Failed to open GEOIP file
/home/ubuntu/install/share/tor/geoip6.  We've been configured to use (or
avoid) nodes in certain countries, and we need GEOIP information to
figure out which ones they are.

I can only think to fix this by putting the relevant files where TBB
expects to find them. There was a similar problem for me with the last
alpha release. Does this have implications for the recent forensic
testing of the bundles (that is, the presence of Tor files outside the
bundle), or is it only a problem for me?
