Until the issue is properly resolved and Ubuntu's Qt packages are updated, I have found that installing the Qt 5.6 libraries from the PPA here https://launchpad.net/~beineri/+archive/ubuntu/opt-qt56-xenial solves this problem.

The libraries are installed to /opt and so they shouldn't interfere with the rest of the system.

To use the Qt 5.6 libraries, owncloud can be started as follows:

LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/opt/qt56/lib/ /usr/bin/owncloud

Note: I am not sure if Qt 5.6 is officially supported by owncloud (there are at least problems on OSX - see here for a discussion: https://github.com/owncloud/client/issues/3449), but for me everything seems to work. This also fixes the issue that the owncloud icon does not appear in the system tray.
