And I closed the JIRA, see the comments. But the short form is that it's not worth the effort because of the edge cases. Jack writes up some of them; the short form is "what does stemming do with terms like organiz* ". Sure, it would produce one token (which is the main restriction on a MultiTermAware filter), but the output might not be anything equivalent to the stem of "organization", maybe not even "organize". Better to avoid that rat-hole, it seems like one of those problems that could suck up enormous amounts of time and _still_ not do what's expected.
If you _really_ want to try this, you could always define your own "multiterm" analysis component that included the stemmer, see: http://www.lucidimagination.com/blog/2011/11/29/whats-with-lowercasing-wildcard-multiterm-queries-in-solr/ But don't say I didn't warn you <G>...
