Looking at the torrent comments for the one you replied to in there, there's quite a few newer builds of OS 4.3.1 than it. That one was Release 36. The latest I've seen are Release 59. That's roughly 2.5 months of builds between those versions.

The person who spoke to an AT&T representative would have spoken to someone, likely a technical engineer directly or one by way of their corporate account manager, rather than some nitwit in a store who has little to no information. Store personnel typically get information a) from internet forums such as BBF, b) internal training material (usually released very close to actual retail date), or c) internal computer systems (such as the case with SKU numbers for pre-releases; typically input a couple weeks prior to actual release for billing purposes). I would think it rare that store personnel, with the exception of very few who have connections back to a main office, would have any useful information further than 2-3 weeks prior to release date. That number may even be pushing it. With the phone representatives, they are generally outsourced and have hardly any knowledge or information on products they take calls on (I used to work for a company that had an umbrella company who did Tier 1 support and telemarketing for AT&T) - there is typically a small window for training and it's not all that great (exception being an iPhone, although many had never even seen an iPhone even after it's release).
