Working with a release branch makes sense if there is lot of activity on the trunk, some of which may interfere with the release. That's not the case; AFAICS all commits to the trunk are related to the release. That means that using a release branch is just an unnecessary burden.
I think that the Synapse document is inspired by the Axis2 release process [1], which still recommends creating a release as well, but both Axis2 1.6.0 and 1.7.0 were released from the trunk. The last time we used a release branch was for Axis2 1.5, and IIRC that was a disaster because some of the changes on the release branch were not applied to the trunk.
