I had exactly the same problem (segfault in SECMOD_ReferenceModule) and eventually tracked it down to library path mess-up. I had a LD_LIBRARY_PATH defined plus some funny directories added in /etc/ld.so.conf.d/ that I once needed for some software to run. Cleaning all that stuff allowed me to run that version of Pidgin fine. It may be that libnss looks for some modules in the wrong directory or something. This would explain why there's so few reports about that issue.
