This is borderline on whether it is a bug fix worth applying in 2.1 - it
is fixing something that is new to this release (event-as-qapi) and
which affects downstream vendors; but at the same time, it is something
which cannot be triggered _except_ by downstream vendors, which are
perfectly capable of applying this patch even if it misses 2.1.  I'll
leave it up to you.
