Comment:

 Libpurple requires that the text passed to API (which are consequently
 passed to glib, which is actually crashing in your backtrace)  methods be
 UTF-8, it looks like this crash is because this isn't happening.

 The encoding of the locale in which your program is running isn't a
 problem - you just need to make sure that you deal with text encoding so
 that it is what libpurple expects.
