Ah, you're right of course! It's 2.42, not 2.41.

A missing architecture is not enough grounds for a stable update, especially in such a minor package. With regards to unstable, you're correct that 2.42 is not available there yet. It is in experimental, though, and given it's already a released version, I'd expect it to reach unstable soon. So I think it's meaningful to take that into account for any suggested fix here. Note, however, that I have not verified whether that glibc change makes a difference to this bug or not; this is just speculation on my end, based on a vague memory of the issue at hand, and a drive-by read of glibc's release notes.
