As a professional programmer, which has been so for a few decades, I don't get the fuzz. It's quite normal that any program is developed along two branches. One for bugfixes on the current version, i.e. 1.0.4, and one for major addition of features, i.e. 1.1.

In addition you have conflicting interests related to publishing your program as early as possible, and at the same time with as little errors as possible. Hence you have Beta programs, were "the public" can sign up and get early-bird version of the software. This Beta version knowingly has bugs which needs to be fixed before released into the open.

Combine these two issues, and you have the current situation. Mojang has released the 1.0.4 beta version for Android to get them to find the major flaws, before releasing it all for all platforms. Surely, they also have a test team which are currently testing out the iOs version, and so on. And in due time, the 1.0.4 will come for all platforms.

And similarily, there are surely a lot of guys working on the 1.1 version, and most likely when it's getting closer to release there will be a 1.1 Beta for Android.

So I don't think there is anything really big happening in the shadows. It's just ordinary development, and maybe they've hit a few bugs more than expected since they are talking about 1.0.4 build 2 in the beta program, which they don't want to release out into the open. I'll, however, be surprised if the 1.0.4 has more features than already announced.
