I don't have the package xfunctions, so I tried without. If I change all the \multicolumn{1}{}{} to \multicolumn{1}{l}{} your example compiles:

You have to use \multicolumn{3}{|l|}{} in the following rows also.

\documentclass[plain]{article}
\usepackage{multirow}
\pagestyle{empty}

\begin{document}

\begin{tabular}{|l|l|l|l|}\hline

[Tex/LaTex] tabu package – gaps in vertical lines

One way is to shift up the skip prior to the mid-height \tabucline with a \\[-1pt]. See below for 2nd approach.

    &                              & \multicolumn{1}{ |[1pt] l |     }{ } &                                 & \\ \tabucline[1 pt]{1-5}

Alternately, if you want the thin line to bisect the thick line, then the approach: \\[-1pt] \tabucline[1 pt]{3-5}\\[-12.5pt]\hline works.
