The suggestion to hackedit max version number here works for me:
http://sourceforge.net/forum/forum.php?thread_id=1758037&forum_id=658717
for Thunderbird 2.0.0.9
I put the hacked habu .xpi here:

If you use it your computer might explode of course.
I also had to right-click on toolbar and Customise and add Habu Reporting icon
(moving to new computer).

1) Download habu-1.8.6.2-tb.xpi
2) Change .xpi to .zip
3) Extract install.rdf from .zip and open e.g. in Wordpad
4) Change line 14 from
2.0
to
2.0.0.*
5) Change version number at line 27 to something unique, e.g.
1.8.6.2.1
6) Save install.rdf, and add back into .zip replacing original
7) Change .zip back to .xpi and set file name to match new version number from step 5, e.g.
habu-1.8.6.2.1-tb.xpi
