Is it possible the user has an alternate version of WebKit running via a WebKit nightly build? [1]

This sounds like a problem with WebKit, which is the framework we use
to render HTML in Versions.  A lot of Mac apps use this same framework
for similar purposes, so it wouldn't surprise me if Skype also needs
it to render chat messages.

When you use the Safari browser to view web pages, does that work
normally?

If it doesn't, this definitely is a problem with WebKit.  I'm not sure
what the best way to fix this would be, besides reinstalling OS X.
One thing you could try is to get the latest Mac OS X Combo update
from Apple and run that.

Make sure you get a "Combo" update and not a regular one.

There's a decent chance that installing that will replace the defunct
version of WebKit.  If that doesn't help, my best suggestion would be
to reinstall OS X and choosing the "Archive and Install" option during
installation — that should leave all of your own stuff and installed
applications in the right place.

Good luck :)
