The general rule is that you're not supposed to specify compatibility with a release until you have at least tested with a release candidate (not an alpha or beta). Usually there is a distinct policy saying something like "don't specify x.y compatibility unless you have tested with x.y RC z or higher", with z not necessarily equalling 1. The hard fact is that a.m.o. won't let you upload an extension if the minVersion or maxVersion is not contained in /their/ database of allowed version numbers. The general experience is that the a.m.o. database usually is a strict subset of the version numbers which are allowed according to the "general rule". At least for the past major releases, it was difficult uploading extensions timely with the release (let alone between RC and release). But I have to say that people on irc (#amo) are incredibly helpful, so you might try that once the RCs are out.
