Research direction
Reproduce the failure in DrRacket 7.5 on OS/X 10.13.6 by selecting Scripts > Manage Scripts > Library. Inspect share/pkgs/quickscript/library-gui.rkt around set-files-lb and the missing user-scripts path; done means the Library opens without an Internal Error after a fresh install.
