I had a look at this today and upstream fix for this issue is https://github.com/rrthomas/mmv/commit/5b13bd738cb1e02fcf2ceb7a18418adfb72c1e2c and that was the only change which went in 2.5.1. The mmv package has its own copy of gnulib library and the commit resulted in a huge diff stat betwen Debian packages 2.5-1 and 2.5.1-1 as the embedded copy of gnulib in "lib" folder was reverted to old version.

imho, that big change is not suitable for SRU and Mantic not being a LTS release, a backport of 2.5.1-1 is also not possible.
