Maybe I can help you. I have tried the same with DJGPP 2.952b and Allegro 
3.9.33 and have experienced basically the same error
Propably your problem is that ALLEGRO_BITMAP's destructor is called when 
your program is being closed. But though it uses Allegro's destroy_bitmap(). 
I guess you don't have any more working acces to this function as 
allegro_exit() is called on exit. Propably allegro_exit() is called before 
~ALLEGRO_BITMAP(). If you change this providing no destructor but e.g. a 
member-function ALLEGRO_BITMAP::destroy() that does the same like your 
destructor everything works fine if you call xbmp2.destroy() somewhere in 
main(). In deed I would not use a destructor in this case.

PS: I don't think "Why is this code not working...?" is a very informative 
subject...
