That was a question to the release team that was as far as I am aware
never definitely answered.
And I assumed you would have tarred and feathered me if I had asked
again on #debian-release to get an answer.
"(small?) part of the functionality of a package is broken on a subset
of the supported machines on two architectures" is not usually
considered release critical, the only release critical issue was
that this also caused frequent FTBFS.
Blacklisting the Loongson buildds or disabling part of the tests in all
mipsel/mips64el builds are two possible workarounds for this FTBFS.

#861483 and #852962 are both stretch-will-remove.
