I don't see a reason to delay it's migration now.  Especially as it is
compiling OK with gcc-4.8.  popcon shows 4 users, including me and we've
no bug reports yet.

And I now see two reasons for its migration to happen quickly:

I would still prefer 9.1 to migrate before 9.2 goes into unstable,
therefore we may want to hurry.

And 9.0 in testing has the same security issue, which we have a duty to
fix (by allowing a fixed package to migrate).

So I'd prefer to see one more upload of 9.1 to unstable, with the
nfsserver security bugfix, with urgency=medium or high.  And it should
be allowed to migrate unless someone finds a serious bug during those
2-5 days.

Does that seem like a reasonable plan?
