Well, clients shouldn't be able to make the server segfault, so it's a bug.

The hard part is debugging it, as Skype's a closed source application
... to file a bug that others could make sense of, you'd need to get
some idea of what was happening. Run a debug version of latest Xorg,
trace precisely what's happening, see if you can spot what Skype is
mis-tickling ...
