I poked at this a bit more at the request of an off-list message,
and found the following:
(gdb) r -f -C /etc/collectd-segfault.conf
Starting program: /usr/local/sbin/collectd -f -C /etc/collectd-segfault.conf
Program received signal SIGSEGV, Segmentation fault.

I swapped the config out and tried it without the write_graphite plugin,
running under gdb with 'r -f -C /etc/collectd.conf', and it ran without
fail. (I did get the same output as above when I hit Ctrl-C on the
functional config running under gdb, as expected, though).
Running gdb with the core dump revealed the following:
(gdb) bt
#0 0x000000048e25c000 in ?? ()
warning: GDB can't find the start of the function at 0x48e25c000.
GDB is unable to find the start of the function at 0x48e25c000
and thus can't determine the size of that function's stack frame.
This means that GDB may be unable to access that stack frame, or
the frames below it.
This problem is most likely caused by an invalid program counter or
stack pointer.
However, if you think GDB should simply search farther back
from 0x48e25c000 for code which looks like the beginning of a
function, you can increase the range of the search using the `set
heuristic-fence-post' command.
#1 0x000000048e25c000 in ?? ()
warning: GDB can't find the start of the function at 0x48e25c000
Previous frame identical to this frame (corrupt stack?)

(gdb) bt

If anyone has further suggestions to debug, I'm all ears.
