Actually, I thought all bugfixes are candidates (within reason of
course) for post-rc1 merging, especially early rc's. I recall Linus
saying things along the lines of "if it's a candidate for stable, then
it's a candidate for an -rc" (i.e., don't wait until the next merge
window).

These really aren't a big deal anyway.
