I have had the same problem. You can usually tell you won't be getting any NPCs when the Guide seems to be "Stuck" somewhere that he could easily jump out from. He won't go to his prepared room for anything and that seems to bug out the other NPCs too.

My friends and I ALL met the requirements, built a house on a world with a buggy Guide (Hopped into a 3-tile deep hole and wouldn't move), and no NPCs would arrive, no matter what. We started a new world, which didn't have a buggy Guide this time, built an EXACT copy of the house, and NPCs were there within minutes.

Definitely needs looking at, as this is literally a "Gamebreaking Glitch" if there ever was one...
