Yes.  I'm now using python-gobject 2.21.4+is.2.21.3-1, and:

[metalzone /tmp/mdw]cat break.py
import glib
print glib.main_context_default()
[metalzone /tmp/mdw]python2.5 break.py
Segmentation fault
[metalzone /tmp/mdw]python2.6 break.py
Segmentation fault
[metalzone /tmp/mdw]

No, it isn't.  It makes no difference either way, though -- I just
installed python-gi 0.6.0-1 and it still segfaults.  This isn't a
surprise: the test program doesn't import `gi', and I explained how come
the existing code dereferences a null pointer in the original report.
