Shell-switcher is not part of Emacs, so "empty .emacs" doesn't sound
quite right.  I suspect the problem is somewhere in the local
modifications you have.

Of course, it can still be due to a bug in Emacs's Customize code, but
we'd need some recipe starting from a really empty local customization
(which would hence explicitly load shell-switcher.el).
