In theory, the set of bugs in an actual release should be smaller
than the set of bugs in a prerelease.  If there are still obvious
problems with the prerelease we're using, importing 3.2.1 is
likely to do more help than harm.  But it's up to you and the RE
team; I don't care as long as the compiler isn't known to generate
incorrect code.
