Could anybody compile the backported source to distribute it?
Yes, but I see no need for this. Pywikipediabot works fine with python up to 2.6.5, which is available for download at http://www.python.org/download/releases/2.6.5/ (downgrade) and with 2.5.5 (side-by-side installation), which is available for download at http://www.python.org/download/releases/2.5.5/ .
The bug has been marked as a security fix (as it can cause segfaults), which means it will, at the very least, be included in 2.7.2. It's not clear to me whether there will be an 'official' 2.6.7, but someone might create a bugfix release for it (for example, Debian).
