I can confirm the above, using xchat 2.6.0-3.1. Only way I succeeded to start xchat was by editing ~/.xchat2/xchat.conf manually and setting the variable gui_slist_skip to 0.
Does this still happen in current versions? 2.6.0 is very old. It definitely doesn't happen for me with any current version (but I'm on i386, not x86_64).
Actually, this is most likely a duplicate of bug 188894 (see bug 188894 comment 9, also this is 2.6.0). *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of 188894 ***
