This bug is triggered by an empty JID. So its likely a side effect of
something else that has happened. Since it is called from
BuildSavedDialogs using stored info about open dialogs like:
    # Open dialogs must be saved specifically for each login jid as:
    # {mejid_1 {jid ?-option value ...?} mejid_2 {...} ...}
The only logical reason for this bug is an empty 'jid' value stored here.

I have now taken some precaution so it shall not happen again.

It would be interesting to see what is stored in the
'jprefs_chat_dialogs' in the prefs file. You could delete this entry
which likely fixes it.

i opened the file preferences.rdb i found in the line:
*jprefs_chat_dialogs: <email address hidden> {{{}}}

As you said i deleted the entry and now i can login to my account from coccinella without any error.
