zotero-better-bibtex: Better bibtex does not seem to start after update to 5.4.16

edit by @retorquere if you have urgent work, grab 5.4.14. I’m debugging the problem, I expect a fix today

---

I open zotero almost everyday, and every day it works perfectly. Except today 😃

The problem is simple to reproduce:

1. Open zotero
2. Fail to see the familiar better bidlatex initialization popup
3. Fail to see the citekey column in the references list.
4. Fail to see the citekey field in the reference view.

I’m sure this was introduced in the latest version (5.4.16), since I’ve in the meantime reverted back to 5.4.15 and everything is working fine.

The error log consists of many messages, similar to this one:

[JavaScript Error: "Error: Invalid field 'citekey" for base field" {file: "chrome://zotero/content/xpcom/data/itemFields.js" line: 280}]
