OK, I just tried this on my "under construction" devel box

I don't think it's due to x86_64 alone.
Okay.
XEmacs should spew a bunch of information about the fonts it's
configuring at startup.
Can you tell me what they are?
This:
% ~/src/xemacs/xemacs-21.5.25/src/xemacs -vanilla
initialized metrics ascent 14 descent 3 width 8 height 16
initialized font monospace-12
checking if Kochi Gothic-12:hintstyle=3 handles English
Xft font Kochi Gothic-12:hintstyle=3 doesn't support en
checking if Kochi Mincho-12:hintstyle=3 handles English
Xft font Kochi Mincho-12:hintstyle=3 doesn't support en
?
What locale(s) are you seeing the crash in?
Basically any locale that uses "widechars" AFAICT.
Eg, ja_JP.UTF-8, ko_KR.UTF-8, etc.
