Given that this is a bugreport about the package in squeeze and it will
still affect squeeze users when someone does a backport, the proper
place to get this fixed is squeeze, not squeeze-backports.
Backports is a service to offer newer features, not to offer bugfixes
for stable. We have point releases for stable for a reason, and we
actually have the responsibility for our users to get stuff fixed in
stable where the issue is severe enough - and this report sounds like it
would be a pretty good idea to get it fixed in stable.
You should file a bugreport against the package and suggest to the
maintainer to run a squeeze update through the release team for fixing
the issue.
Thanks, and enjoy!
