I can reproduce this with Debian testing default xgettext. But it
doesn't look Javascript specific. e.g. if I create two identical
files 1.c and 2.c with the content:

int a() { ngettext("bla", 1); }

And call it like this:

xgettext --keyword=ngettext:1,1 -o - 1.c 2.c

*** Error in `xgettext': double free or corruption (fasttop):
0x0000000001428470 ***

I'm not sure if this keyword argument is valid, but at least
it should not die like this.
