I don't have any reason to believe the new version won't have the same problem 2 months (or a year) from now, and as far as I know neither the security team nor the stable release managers usually accept that kind of changes in stable. If they say they'll be happy to accept random chromium code dumps in released squeeze, then I guess we can let it back in, but until then I don't think keeping a version the maintainer doesn't want to support in testing helps anyone.
