Thanks for this additional info, this triggered a memory to surface in my head.
As a matter of fact, this "bug" has been known for quite some time now. It
actually is a bug in OpenAL, not ioquake3. It will go away in future versions
of openal.
In gentoo it's getting patched automatically already so there it won't crash.
In the meantime, just compile openal with USE_OPENAL_DLOPEN and that bug will
go away. Alternatively, you can recompile OpenAL yourself. As submitting a
patch seems to be broken right now, I'll just post the patch here, the changes
are simple enough.
