My thought has been that you could use a struct of function pointers,
including the ABI version number and the size within the struct and
pass that struct pointer to a g_object_class_override_methods()
function. I believe this is similar to what COM does and would allow
backwards compatible implementation, however ugly it would turn out to
be.

However I think the idea was to continue exposing function pointers in
class structs and just add $ENOUGH extra slots for future expansion.
