I don't believe we could have Emacs 26.1 out earlier than in six months' time, basically what we had with every other .1 release.
I think 26.1 is a better way to go here, even if we have to wait six months for it. Users have already been living with this bug since 25.1's release eight months ago, and they can wait a few months more.
We can publish 26.1 earlier if we don't run it through our leisurely six month test period. It would not be tested as well as 25.1 was, but the same would be true for any 25.3 release, as its changes are not likely to be trivial to develop. We could warn users that 26.1 is more experimental than 25.1 was, so that users not seriously affected by Bug#26952 (i.e., most users) could stick with Emacs 25 if they want to be conservative.
