And I have pretty much the exact same bug in OSX.

In my case, the problme isn't emulation-related; it's that claws-mail
uses a different version of some library than the system has. Dillo
uses it anyway, then fails to find the features that were there when
it was built, and exits.

In general, yes. But in these cases, smarter library resolution (or
maybe it's to smart) could also solve the problem.
