Which is a consequence of normal human psychology, I think. I'm not sure how to encourage users to "take the grenade" of the prereleases. Maybe encouraging a testing community, as such, could help.
Jabber and IRC are good for this. Near the end of the 0.42 cycle, almost every newbie that popped in was encouraged to try CVS. This behavior is possible because Inkscape has readily available nightly builds and always functional CVS. Perhaps one of the strongest features of the project! Advertising this feature more publicly as the userbase grows could really turn things up a notch.
