Ok, replicated the issue with the following files.
Main class: TraceTestApp.as
package 
     import flash.display.Sprite;
     public class TraceTestApp extends Sprite
          public function TraceTestApp()
               trace.apply(null, ["works!"]);
               trace("doesn't work");
AXML
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<application xmlns="http://ns.adobe.com/air/application/1.5">
    <id>tracetest</id>
    <version>0.1</version>
    <filename>tracetest</filename>
    <initialWindow>
        <content>trace_test.swf</content>
        <visible>true</visible>
        <x>50</x>
     <y>50</y>
        <width>1024</width>
        <height>623</height>
    </initialWindow>
</application>
Compiled and run with
mxmlc +configname=air -default-background-color=#FFFFFF -default-frame-rate=30 -use-network=false -verbose-stacktraces=true -default-size 1024 600  -o=/Users/.../bin/trace_test.swf /Users/.../src/TraceTestApp.as
