The tarfile module seems to only import the bz2 module when a bzip2-compressed file is handled. Is this actually the case with rust? I am hesitant between applying your patch (and therefore removing package/nodejs/0.10.45/0001-remove-python-bz2-dependency.patch), or adding an hidden BR2_HOST_PACKAGE_PYTHON_BZIP2 that the rust package could select to make sure bzip2 support is built into host-python. Indeed, host-python is used by numerous packages, and we're trying to not add too many dependencies to host-python. On the other hand, building bzip2 is pretty fast, so maybe it's reasonable to add it as a mandatory dependency of host-python.
