I would vote for the second explanation given by Svetlana: The form
"pribujut" (instead of "pibyvajut") seems to be a typical hypercorrection.

Dear Robert,
I think it is a folk or quickly pronounced version of "pribyvaiut," some
kind of mix of "pribyvaiut" and "pribudut" or possibly someone
conjugating a verb in -yva- like a verb in -ova-. My two cents!
I am interested to know what other seelangers think!
