Upstream is aware of the issue, and apparently there's no easy
solution.  From upstream:

There are three parallel solutions in the works, and a release that uses
one of them is expected soon.  I'll continue to keep an eye on this but
won't otherwise make any specific effort to patch.  One of the solutions
upstream is considering is to dig up the matrix code from before
gtksheet was introduced, so the issue will be addressed one way or
another.
