would be the best. Personally, even though I know it won't happen, I wouldn't find disrespectful to release 0.46 on all platform and advertise it, even if print sill doesn't work on Windows. Just advertise it so people know what to expect, and 0.46.1 will fix the bug like other .1 releases have done for other bugs before. That, or just start the campaign for 0.46.1 (see my comments below - who remembers Open Office 2.0 anyway when what we all started to use was at least 2.0.4?).
A few years ago, releasing 0.xx.1 was considered an emergency measure and a bit of "losing the face" for the project.
Then, it came about to be a pretty normal and even expected development with most releases.
And now, you're proposing to basically place all bets on a 0.xx.1 and just sweep 0.xx under the rug as some kind of a buggy preview.
I don't think I like this particular line of evolution.
