Based on the date-stamps of the two packages, you'd probably have to go back to gobject-introspection-0.6.5. It probably makes more sense to upgrade pygobject to 2.21.5 -- which will undoubtedly requirea newer rev of pygtk, as well. I'll do that in the moduleset tomorrow; in the meantime, one or both of you can try it out manually.
