Looking at the output ...
[snip...]
lstat64("Ji?í", 0x81634d8) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory)
stat64("Ji?í", 0x81634d8) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory)
lstat64("Pale?ek", 0x81634d8) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory)
stat64("Pale?ek", 0x81634d8) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory)
access("Ji?í", F_OK) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory)
[snip...]
So looks like the stat call failed.
I did a simple test locally ...
$ mkdir Jiří
$ strace ls Jiří 2>&1 | grep Jiří
stat64("Jiří", {st_mode=S_IFDIR|0755, st_size=4096, ...}) = 0
open("Jiří", O_RDONLY|O_NONBLOCK|O_LARGEFILE|O_DIRECTORY|0x80000) = 3
But then I can do an xxdiff too.
Looking at the failure in your strace output, I am inclined to believe
that the name of the directory was passed incorrectly to stat64 after Qt
(or xxdiff) processed it.
BTW which file system are you creating these directories on? Does it
work if you, say, go to /tmp and create these two directories and xxdiff
them?

But that would still not explain why I am not able to reproduce it.

Sure, I would be glad if we could collect enough information to forward
this upstream in case we are not able to crack it ourself.
Cheers,
