So, this is an incompatibly between the xrandr-indicator extension you have installed and changes in annotations in gobject-introspection that landed a week or two ago. In 3.0.0, extensions were accidentally completely disabled.

Obviously, we should have better recovery from broken extensions that keep the shell from staring up than we do currently, but still, this isn't a gnome-shell regression between 3.0.0 and 3.0.0.1, just something that was hidden by the bug in 3.0.0.
