My first suggestion would be to try to recompile the package in testing 
on stable, e.g. as per https://wiki.debian.org/SimpleBackportCreation. 
This could be easier for you to maintain instead of compiling from 
source.

You could also try asking for a backport on -backports, preferably with 
a Cc to the maintainer *and* mentioning the additional features of the 
version in testing (if any).

The backports archive isn't supposed to be used to fix bugs in stable 
(see the archives, this is constantly brought up), though I acknowledge 
this may leave users in a bad situation if the bug isn't fixed in stable 
either (regardless of the reason).

An offer for assistance in fixing the bug in stable, like identifying 
the relevant upstream commit(s) fixing the issue and helping with 
backporting them to the older versions could also help get things 
moving.

Hope this helps,
Andrei
