This should work fine now.

I've compiled gnash with the configure argument --with-renderer=cairo. When I run gnash, I get a crash at startup unless I pass the command line argument --Renderer cairo.

The cause seems to be gui/gtk_canvas.cpp lines 218-222 (in gnash_canvas_setup()):

// If a renderer hasn't been defined in gnashrc, or on the command
// line, pick a sensible default.
if (renderer.empty()) {
renderer = "agg";
}

Thus, it tries to use the non-existent agg renderer, and crashes.
