I can't replicate the problem here using bb v1.22.1 or more
recent versions.

  $ echo hi | ./xargs -0 
  hi

  $ readlink ./xargs
  busybox

  $ ./busybox | head -n1
  BusyBox v1.22.1 (2014-08-20 14:42:05 MDT) multi-call binary.

My guess is the problem is in your build process or perhaps in
a library you are using.  I use the build-root system to create
a custom version of busybox.
