Nevermind, I can reproduce at least this part of your report with
SHELL=/bin/zsh, no NFS home directory required. Enabling byobu to start
automatically is the same as running

  SHELL=/bin/zsh _byobu_sourced=1 zsh --interactive -c ". /usr/bin/byobu-launch"

which shows the error messages you report, if I don't already have an
existing /dev/shm/byobu-$LOGNAME-whatever directory. The zsh default is
to fail on globs that do not match, which explains why this error only
shows in zsh.

Other than these error messages, what exactly is the bad behavior you've
observed? Does byobu actually fail to start as the title implies? Or is
this simply about the attempt to create and use the /cache.tmux
directory?

Thanks,
