First, I haven't said that a fix for testing must come from stable,
just that it was easy to fix testing too (because this would be the
same patch). And no, a fix for testing does not necessarily come
via unstable:

https://wiki.debian.org/Status/Testing

  From the Debian Security FAQ:

  The Debian testing security team handles issues for testing. They
  will make sure that the fixed packages enter testing in the usual
  way by migration from unstable (with reduced quarantine time), or,
  if that still takes too long, make them available via the normal
  http://security.debian.org infrastructure.
