Disregarding if and how this gets fixed in stretch, one should be able 
to cleanly upgrade from all versions that are/were in stretch(-security) 
to buster. This fix can go in via buster-pu, don't bother trying 
buster-security for this. (Especially given the long time since the bug 
was introduced in stretch-security.)

I've added Breaks against the bad library packages in stretch-security 
(lib*10 shipping lib*.so.16) s.t. they get removed on upgrades to buster.

I wouldn't introduce NEW packages into stretch, but given the limited 
amount of affected packages I'd just fake the transition with a number 
of Breaks. I can try to provide a patch if I find some time ...
