I'm not able to reproduce your problem on neither of my two machines.
Could you please quote the exact message you're seeing?

Did you get any warning or error output when starting g-c-c from the command
line?

Interesting. Both of them running testing/stretch I guess?

Could you please keep a tight watch on what you're updating the coming
days and if any of the updates makes the issue go away? If so please
report that information back. Not all of gnome 3.21/3.22 has yet migrated
to testing and it might be that we need a tighter dependency somewhere.
