I'm pretty sure this is because libmutter does not have a stable API.

That is why they created the gobject-instropection no? You know create dynamic language bindings based on xml files (.gir) and/or binary (.typelib) that describe the API.

From Makefile.am:
# These files are in package-private directories, even though they may be used
# by plugins. If you're writing a plugin, use g-ir-compiler --add-include-path
# and g-ir-compiler --includedir.
girdir = $(pkglibdir)
gir_DATA = Meta-$(api_version).gir
