It is still an issue on 17.10 but I discovered it seemed to have been triggered by a specific package in a local LAN repo I am using. Once I removed the package from the repo it stopped crashing. However, I have been unable to determine what exactly about the package was causing it to crash which I would still think is a bug as apt-xapian-index should probably handle bad packages more gracefully.
