I looked through the users of the library and none of them currently
rely on the broken ABI and it doesn't look like upstream cares about
ABI stability much so I see 3 options here
* migrate the current version to testing and consider it a non-bug
and hope it never happens again
* the above plus also updating the package so dependencies would
always depend on >= upstream_version && < next_upstream_version
* don't include the package in Debian because upstream doesn't care
about ABI stability
That seems like something for the maintainer to figure out IMHO but
they didn't even respond to #971754 yet.

Doing so now, thanks.
There's going to be another GStreamer bugfix release beginning of next
week, which I'll be uploading after this has migrated to then.
