As it's already fixed in the sources, that is all we can do
about it by now. We are unable to fix past releases, sorry. ;-)

The new manpage in the repository seems to be correct, but there haven't been any releases since the fix was added (actually, there haven't been any for almost 15 months). Are there any plans for a new release?

I seem to remember in the Subversion repository this has been fixed a year ago:
http://svn.savannah.nongnu.org/viewvc/trunk/avrdude/avrdude.1?root=avrdude&r2=1052&r1=1051

avrdude man page, section 'Programmers accepting extended parameters':
buspirate
[...]
speed=<0..7> BusPirate to AVR SPI speed:
etc.

I wondered why running avrdude with '-x speed=2' had no effect and checked the source code. In buspirate.c, avrdude actually searches for the parameter 'spifreq=%d'.
The best solution (imho) would be to update the man page.
