Okay, this is pretty straight-forward.

The current version is 3.4
One version prior to current is 3.3
Two versions prior to current is 3.2
*More than* one version prior to current is 3.2
*More than* two versions prior to current is 3.1.

The guideline states: "Themes *must not* support backward compatibility *for
more than two major WordPress versions* (currently: WordPress 3.2)"

There is no possible, logical way that you can conclude that version 3.2 is
MORE THAN TWO versions prior to the current version, which is 3.4.
