I had two tries with the 2.2 version. Might have to do with files getting scrambled during ftp upload, for it did that to the .info file repeatedly. But still: Anybody experienced that? Wanting to go to Pathauto settings page - blank. Wanting to save a node - no way, cause understandably, Pathauto wants to have its say here.

If you get a blank page (white screen of death) then that is likely a fatal PHP error. Those should be recorded in the apache log. Can you look for errors in the apache log and see if there is one from there?

Also, I assume you are upgrading from 1.2. Did you install the token module? Lots of things changed from 1.x to 2.x so you will need to read the upgrade guide (linked from the pathauto project page).

Thanks for the reminder, Greg, sorry for not answering. Well:
The apache error log does not tell me much, just some older file not found errors, it does not appear to be a php error.
I got Token 1.1 installed, Pathauto is 2.2. I did not upgrade since I did not have it installed before.
The nodes are actually created, in spite of the white screen, but don't get an Alias.
For a try I deactivated Global Redirect, but no change.
Tried to reinstall cleanly: definitely deleted url_alias_extra table and the entry in systems table for pathauto.
Still no change.

Output buffering, which I know can sometimes overcome white screens, is on.
Not an easy one.

Without an error in the apache error log or php log I have to assume this is something crazy on your server. While this combination of modules is used on thousands of sites.

Another debugging trick would be to start disabling modules on your site until you just have Pathauto and Token installed. Then see if the problem occurs. Assuming not, add in one more module and try again and see if it occurs. Repeat these steps until the issue is "Pathauto + token + one_other_module" and then it might be possible to figure it out.

Also, since all you found was "file not found" in the apache log that sounds like the apache access log, not error log.

Closing until there is more information.
