Perhaps the advice of Martin Kroeker can help here. He suggests to
"export XLIB_SKIP_ARGB_VISUALS=1" before starting xcrysden.

That's really strange, and I do not understand what is the reason,
because this works for me.

Anyway, if I understood correctly, you experience this only for
multi-script and not for a normal script. Hence you can consider to
embed a normal xcrysden script into a shell script instead and make a
loop on the shell-script level. See the example: 
./examples/Scripting/plot_all_MO.sh 
(there is some info inside as the script is documented)

The important thing is to replace all $ characters in xcrysden script
with \$ to prevent shell substitution ...
