This is strange. I'm using the backport myself at work, so it is a
typical "works for me" :~)

The first one is needed, indeed, the second one not.

Could you try the following in the console/terminal:

$ python3
>>> import nbxmpp
>>> nbxmpp.__version__
'0.6.2'

If the output is not 0.6.2, you have maybe installed a different
version of the nbxmpp library manually somewhere and Gajim picks
the wrong one.

For questions, you can also reach me via XMPP (jid == email).
If you have a working XMPP client...
