We are looking at a release before the end of the next month. A couple bugs (such as your analysis one) have found on the RC, so we hope to fix these before we release the RTM.
By next version, I mean Visual Studio Orcas (and any associated external FxCop release).
ValidateArgumentsOfPublicMethods will be present in FxCop 1.35.
The bad news is that the data flow analysis has already been ripped in the latest builds (after 1.35), and therefore any associated data flow rules (including ValidateArgumentsOfPublicMethods) have been disabled. We will be recovering most of them, but ValidateArgumentsOfPublicMethods won't be one of them.
The good thing is that FxCop's working set and analyze time will be greatly improved, we also will be adding exciting new rules for Orcas.
Expected date for final 1.35 release

Great, I hope you resist the temptation to remove the ValidateArgumentsOfPublicMethods rule as you suggested you would in the post http://forums.microsoft.com/MSDN/ShowPost.aspx PostID=406864&SiteID=1
Despite the false positives, it's a valuable rule, and people can always disable it if they don't like the noise.
