The cause of the issue is that modules/gui/qt4/components/playlist/sorting.h::i_column_sorting is being called with i_column = 0 from PLModel::sort. This case isn't catched in the switch, so the default is taken: abort().
I've made a small patch (find it attached) with which vlc will sort by COLUMN_NUMBER by default, instead of aborting. Probably not the best solution... I recompiled the vlc package in my PPA and finally I can startup vlc :).
