Well, I'm no core-team hacker, just a lurker, but IMexceptionallyHO, it seems to me like glade should be shelved temporarily, at least until libglade uses libxml2, rather than libxml1. This might also be the requisite excuse to 86 expat under UNIX (if doing this is in fact desirable...) As for the AIX/IRIX problem, I don't know AIX or IRIX any too well, but how hard would it be to port libglade to them (I'm not suggesting that we do this, just maybe make it a feature request to the glade folks).
Maybe I'm just talking through my hat, but it seems to me like adding glade at this point falls squarely into the 'U-gly hack' category...
