Thanks for the tips. Tried these steps (fresh pull, rebuild with sysconf/prefix, export G_MESSAGES_DEBUG) and getting the same result (no change in output from above). I have multiple linux distros to try (as I am working in VirtualBox), tried another distro, same result as this. So, both Ubuntu 14 LTS and Centos7+Gnome Desktop, same results.
Any more ideas?
