Do I understand it correctly that Gentoo does not plan to push out a fix for this sooner than in 30 days?

No, they were talking about marking glibc-2.22 as stable i.e., removing the tilde from the arches in the KEYWORDS of the ebuild.

glibc-2.22-r2 was released at the same time as glibc-2.21-r2 and it contains the fix for this issue. The Changelog merely says "misc upstream fixes" but I verified the relevant changes are there.
