Has anyone else gotten this?

Yes, but you're the first case I've heard of outside of Linux.

It would be a big help if you could get a gdb backtrace.  OS X probably 
doesn't have gdb installed by default, though, so you might need to 
figure out how to do that...

But after gdb is installed, run it.  At the prompt, type the following:

file /path/to/boinc_3.18_blahblah
run
<it will seg fault here>
bt

and post the bt information, or email it to me... I'm athlonrob@axpr.net 
if you need any help with any of it.

If you could back up your current boinc directory before or after the 
gdb backtrace, it would be a help, in case somebody needs to look at it.  
After it's backed up, if you delete all the .xml files and start from 
scratch, it usually doesn't seg fault a second time.
