It's fine to upload such a fix to the Inbox, because MC can merge 
versions. But it's better to upload a version that has the current version 
as ancestor. If there are only a few updated methods, then you can 
simply file them out from your image (using MC's patch browser) and file 
them into an up-to-date trunk image, then save a new version of the 
package and upload that.
