If 20% of SETI users on BIONIC went in to 'suspend project' mode for 1-3 
months, could the credits catch up?

Just moving over to 1 ... 3 Climate Prediction work unit(s) would probably 
allow enough spare time for all of the back end stuff to be done.

Maybe people suspending themselves from the project is what is needed at 
this point to allow for the upcoming database migration [and the proper 
granting of credits] to be accomplished.

SETI @ HOME as it is currently designed finds so much 'negadata' that 
perhaps fewer people need to partisipate.
SETI's alogrythms other uses have not tested either.
