I hate to say it, but it seems like only a large-scale worm outbreak that gets media coverage would be enough to fix the utterly broken Android patching landscape. From the description, this appears wormable (especially in crowds and possibly in vehicles). And unlike other wormable vulnerabilities that go through a service (like Google or even the phone company), this is just two phones with no intermediary to protect devices.
