There's a slight mismatch with how we're doing it today because "http://docs.python.org/3/" shows 3.3.0 in the title even though it's the in-progress 3.3.1. The title should perhaps reflect that it's post 3.3.0 (and similarly for the 2.7 and 3.2 pages).

Well, that has always been the case, and it doesn't matter anyway, because generally there's nothing in 3.3.1, feature-wise, that won't have been in 3.3.0. One reason to change would be to avoid possible confusion created on pages like this-- http://docs.python.org/3.3/whatsnew/3.2.html where it says-- Author: Raymond Hettinger Release: 3.3.0 Date: October 27, 2012

Well, that block is a little silly anyway. I would just delete the "Release" and "Date" lines.

Would there be any disadvantage to changing the in-development titles to read something like 3.3.0+, etc?

I'm not sure it would lower any confusion, instead of creating more. ("What is that + anyway? Do I need another version?" etc.)
