The --stdctl option causes xine to crash if it is used when starting from the script...

I found the same problem without the --stdctl flag (is it default?) and reported it to xine-devel. The Hg version of xine-lib cannot start from /etc/inittab or rc.local type scripts without segfaulting.

Someone advised me of a workaround, you can use the startup script with a sudo xine, or a su - xine and it will not segfault. I guess using su or sudo setup some different environment variables (or something) that xine is happy with.
