My view is that fixing the security hole trumps backwards

Personally I disagree, especially as SECURITY issues are merged into LTS as they are now. LTS users choose stability and their vulnerabilities as disclosed as rapidly as those of weekly release users. I do not think it provides enough time to evaluate possible impact of such invasive fixes.

I lean towards preserving backward compatibility (in SECURITY fix) or at least making the fix optional if breakage is inevitable.
