I tried the workaround mentioned in that bug, of creating a Podcasts directory in my home directory. Banshee then started up correctly! Even after I subsequently deleted the Podcasts directory again, Banshee continued to start up successfully.
It did not migrate my Rhythmbox music library though. Is it mean to? It seems a bit rude to change people's default media player without asking, and then making them import their music all over again.
