What makes you think people won't ask why x86 hasn't updated to -1.2?
If version numbers don't match in _any_ way, people will undoubtedly
be confused. And who can blame them?

I find decimals in the pkgrel to be overly confusing myself. Frankly,
I would just bump the pkgrel and release a new package for x86 as
well, even if it's an identical package. Arch already requires lots of
bandwidth (come on xdelta! :D) and I doubt these situations arise
frequently.
