It seems unlikely that Boeing will yield to Michael O'Leary. While adding six seats may not noticeably effect the evacuation time of the aircraft, it may require Boeing to have the aircraft recertified. I believe that legislation allows for up to a 5% increase in seating capacity, provided that no structural changes are made to the aircraft. Removing the toilets at the back of the aircraft would clearly be a structural change and require a costly recertification. Additionally the toilets are often used by airlines to store rubbish bags during landing, I am not aware of an alternative to this.
