If they are already in testing, then they will continue to be in testing, and
future updates will migrate without problems. However...

Can you ping the upstream bug again? It seems like upstream was working on it,
and some time has passed, so maybe will see a fix soon. In that case, having it
build on i386 to solve this uninstallability problem would be good.
Otherwise, removing the i386 binaries for the rdeps is the way to go.
