This makes it awkward to package apr-util using a packaging system. This

to
get the benefit too.
I'm not sure that's strong enough motivation to put this in 0.9.x and
risk breaking the build in some new and interesting way. (I introduced
at least one regression during those changes IIRC)
That's true, but since then, those changes have been in all apr versions
since 1.0.0, so the final fixed form of the changes has had extensive
testing.
The patches are also not very complex.
There is always some risk of breaking something when introducing changes,
but I think in this case it is rather small.
