From the backports perspective, there's nothing that we can do until version 0.9.17 is available in Ubuntu at all (currently Precise still has 0.9.16-1).

Backporting 0.9.17 is still fine once it's available; the backport will still need to be tested as well as Iain described.

However, have you considered going through the SRU process (https://wiki.ubuntu.com/StableReleaseUpdates)? We generally prefer to use backports for exposing new features of a program, while we use SRUs for fixing bugs, since users don't get backports automatically (and do get SRUs).

Is it possible to isolate the patches that required breaking network play? Or alternatively, does 0.9.17 only contain bugfixes (no new features)?
