I can reproduce your observations with the current nightly-build of Aquamacs 3.x. The problem is the missing pc-select package. However, if you copy 
/Applications/Aquamacs.app/Contents/Resources/lisp/emulation/pc-select.el.gz
from Aquamacs 2.3 to the corresponding location in Aquamacs 3.x everything seems to work again.

CAVEAT: there might be a good reason, emulation/pc-select.el.gz is missing from the 3.x-distribution. As far as I know, Emacs 24 aims at more "compatibility" towards other editors and platforms (amongst many other features) and some functionality of pc-select might now be available elsewhere.

Warm regards,
 Stefan
