Have you installed the xcompat package?

--------------------------------------------------------------------

jkr1003:~$ dpkg -s xcompat
Package: xcompat
Status: install ok installed
Priority: optional
Section: x11
Maintainer: Stephen Early <[email-masked]>
Version: 3.1.2-4
Provides: X11R5, xr5shlib, aout-x11r6lib, X11R6
Conflicts: xr5shlib
Description: X11R5 and X11R6 a.out compatibility libraries
 This package provides shared libraries for X11R5 (also called X386) and
 for the a.out version of X11R6. You need to install it if you intend to
 use binaries linked with the old versions of these libraries.

This should cure your problems, but I agree; in the long run xinvaders
should be recompiled for ELF.
