Are you suggesting that any efforts to keep Go and Plan 9 in sync
should be measured purely against short term gain?  To me, that makes
Plan 9 a superfluous platform for Go: the cost of maintaining the
port(s) would never be recoverable in deployment of Go applications to
any Plan 9 platform.

On the other hand, if Go and Plan 9 continue to influence each other's
development and philosophy, I think both will benefit, as well as
their respective communities.  The discussion here, superficial as it
is, is a case in point.
