I am completely new to Dwarf Fortress and just got version 0.42 running on OS X 10.11 (I updated SDL and all of that). However, I started up the game, created a new world with all the default parameters, waited for it to generate, and once it was done with 250 years of history I pressed enter assuming it would put me in the game. All this did was bring me back to the title screen and there isn't even an option to load a game. I checked in the save folder and all there is is another folder that says current. I am missing something or is this simply a fatal bug?[EDIT] There also isn't a "Start Playing" button. I'll attach a screenshot after I have went through the whole generation process.

Generating a world isn't the same as starting an actual save file. Once you've made a world, you have to start your game as well, being brought back to the title screen is normal. If you choose to start a new game, you should see your newly generated world on which you'll be able to embark.
