Yes, there is a particular reason. 3.2.8 fixes quite some bugs over 3.2.6 but
does not introduce new features. Here's ustream's changelog:

VMM: properly terminate the VM with an error if the guest is trying to switch 
to the PAE mode but PAE is disabled in the VM settings
GUI: switch to native file dialogs (Windows hosts only; bug #5459)
GUI: don't use native file dialogs on KDE hosts (Linux hosts only; bug #6809)
3D support: fixed GL_EXT_texture_sRGB support
PXE: fixed ZENworks PXE boot regression
OVF: fixed slower export and larger images under certain circumstances (3.2.6 
regression; bug #7073)
USB: properly signal an interrupt if the port suspend status changes
USB: respect the remote-only filter
USB: avoid VM hang when changing the configuration of certain devices (Windows 
hosts only)
USB: fix a crash with older Linux kernels and non-ASCII characters in device 
strings (Linux hosts only; bug #6983)
PageFusion: fixed conflict with the guest execution feature
PageFusion: fixed stability issues with a large number of VMs
PageFusion: fixed host crashes with guest SMP and Win64 guests
Memory ballooning: fixed problems restoring VMs with pre-allocation enabled
Bridged networking: fixed performance issue with GRO enabled on bridged device 
(bug #7059)
Hostonly networking: fixed performance issue (3.2.6 regression; bug #7081)
Hard disks: fix auto-reset of immutable disk at VM startup (bug #6832)
BusLogic: several fixes for Windows NT/2000 and SCO OpenServer guests
LsiLogic: fixed I/O errors under rare circumstances
Sharing disks: support for attaching one disk to several VMs without external 
tools and tricks (see here for a short explanation)
Shared folders: several fixes and performance enhancements for Solaris guests 
(bugs #4154 and #6512)
Solaris Installer: added support for remote installations
Guest Properties API: correctly support enumerating the properties of a running 
VM with an empty "patterns" field (bug #7171)
Guest properties: properly delete transient properties on shutdown
RDP video redirection performance improvements and stability fixes
Settings: silently fix host audio driver when reading machine XML settings 
files or OVF written by VirtualBox on a different host OS, for example convert 
DirectSound to PulseAudio (bug #7209)
Settings: properly store the NAT network setting in XML settings file version 
1.10 and later (bug #6176)
VBoxManage: handle differencing images with parent UUID correctly in subcommand 
openmedium disk (bug #6751)
Web service: enabled HTTP keepalive for much better performance
Web service: added timestamps to logging output
Web service: treat 8-bit strings as UTF-8 not ASCII
X11 Additions: fix for Xorg 6.8 guests (e.g. RHEL4)

Our 3.2.8 upload unfortunately was delayed due to my vacation and then the
freeze came in before it could hit squeeze but I would prefer to not release
squeeze with a more buggy older version of virtualbox.
