First: When submitting bugs, make sure to submit them for the correct project (it was initially in the community packages section).

tcsh starts fine here. Could you post your ~/.tcshrc ? The bug is probably triggered by a specific config.

Not related to tcshrc, equivalent to an old issue in tcsh with new coreutils that is fixed now, but another new version of coreutils defines new color variables, then tcsh fails. See:

 FS#12658  - [patch] tcsh bug with new dircolors from coreutils

btw, the fix is trivial like the current fix for color "rs" ;)

Thanks for the input. I have already figured this out and found a patch. A fixed package will be in the repo soon.
