IMHO it should. Building custom kernels is pretty much standard,
to get fixes for kernel bugs and support for new hardware.
Considering that 2.6.33 fixes a memory handling bug introduced
in 2.6.30, which causes the kernel to fail to allocate memory
and hence lock up for seconds, i'd say this fix for kernel-package
should be backported rather sooner than later.
Is there anything we can do as users, to help you getting this
backport done and included into stable?
