My first suggestion would be to try to recompile the package in testing on stable, e.g. as per https://wiki.debian.org/SimpleBackportCreation. This could be easier for you to maintain instead of compiling from source. You could also try asking for a backport on -backports, preferably with a Cc to the maintainer *and* mentioning the additional features of the version in testing (if any). The backports archive isn't supposed to be used to fix bugs in stable (see the archives, this is constantly brought up), though I acknowledge this may leave users in a bad situation if the bug isn't fixed in stable either (regardless of the reason). An offer for assistance in fixing the bug in stable, like identifying the relevant upstream commit(s) fixing the issue and helping with backporting them to the older versions could also help get things moving.
