Did the update say it was a beta? All I registered was "3.0" and reflexively hit "update later".

A popup prompting you to switch from a stable release to a beta seems a bit strange to me.

I don't think it did, it just said 3.0.0. The website however correctly states it is beta.

FWIW the automatic update worked for me.

I had the same issue. Downloading the beta works but doesn't like zsh

I had to restart my computer. After that, iTerm launched fine.

It seems like the update hangs. I manually force quit "iTerm" in Activity Monitor, relaunched it and now it works without a hitch.

Didn't work for me, but it may have been due to the fact I'm on a beta version of El Capitan as well. Reinstalling 2.1.4 worked fine.

Worked for me as well.

Same happened for me.
