(/tl/bin/x86_64-darwin/amstex
It is reading the amstex binary, instead of amstex.tex. I suspect you
may have been in the /tl/bin/x86_64-darwin/ directory when you did the
update. Try from any other directory, like $HOME or /tmp or /wherever.
I don't think the problem is related to universal-darwin
vs. x86-64-darwin.
Barbara: for this very reason, it would be more robust if amstex.ini
(maintained by the AMS, I see) said \input amstex.tex (and \input
plain.tex) instead of just \input amstex.

Hmm. What do you have in /tl/texmf-var/web2c? Since it said:
Transcript written on amstex.log.
It would seem there is an amstex.log *somewhere*. Try finding that file
on the system? It would be nice to know where it went.
Best,
