As best I can tell, it's been years since branches were actively used by this project. Are you proposing reintroducing their use? If we use branches, I think the appropriate time to create a branch is at the beginning of either the alpha or beta test period. Then the release commit restrictions can be applied to the branch and non-release-related development can continue on the trunk. The potential danger I see with this is that it will tempt developers to go off and play with new stuff rather than focusing on testing and bug fixing. As Bob mentioned, for this particular case, creating an entire branch for a few tiny patches is probably too heavyweight a process to be appropriate.
