(re-entered, since e-mail to Bugzilla got it all wrong) Doesn't the suggestion to use Latex2e mode mean LaTeX 2.09 compatibility is broken? Also, the package lacks Russian hyphenation patterns. If you are willing, I'll point you to the proper file to take for that.
Fixed in tetex-0.9-16 and later. The initial test case was still invalid, though.
