In general, you should prefer a 1.4.1 (to get bugfixes only).  That
makes the PAS release cycle less coupled to your needs, as well  Can you
identify the bugfixes on the trunk which are important to PlonePAS?
Unless you use DelegatingMultiPlugin, the only one I can see which might
matter is:

  ZODBUserManager: Already encrypted passwords were encrypted again in
  addUser and updateUserPassword.
  (http://www.zope.org/Collectors/Zope/1926)

I've just backported this to the 1.4 branch, along with a fix for
emergency user breakage.

The changelogs are here:
