I presume it is compliant with the LO release policy to push the same
patch also to the LO 4.2 branch ?

I don't think so; no new features, only bugfixes.

Can't an "installation as extension" override the bundled one, or
something like that?

I don't see how: installing the extension on LO 4.2 makes that 2
Basic libraries with the same name are present either in "My macros"
or in "LibreOffice macros".

To be used a library must first be loaded by giving its (presumably
unique) name ??

Yes, but one might hope that when loading the library, one source is
always preferred over the other. With some luck, "My Macros & Dialogs"
will always be preferred to "LibreOffice Macros & Dialogs". But maybe
we are unlucky and it is other way round. (I think in general both
ways make sense, as long as the choice is made consistently; some
scenarios favour "priority to My Macros", other scenarios favour
"priority to LibreOffice". By "luck" I mean "LibreOffice Basic was
designed with the choice that suits our current scenario".)

The result is LO being unstable or corrupt.

As in you tried and bad things happen?
