The backtrace suggest serious trouble, I doubt it's caused by the
patches you mention.

Does `make distclean && make EMACS=xemacs' help?  Do backing out
thoose three patches help?  Do a non-compiled gnus work?

Which XEmacs version where you using?  Could you try a stable one to
see if the problem persist?  I wasn't able to reproduce it with MULE or
non-MULE cvs-XEmacs 21.1.9.
