The freeze policy is rather restrictive:
https://release.debian.org/jessie/freeze_policy.html
Clearly a new upstream bugfix release does not fulfil the criteria for
an automatic exception.

It does not mean that it is impossible to get 0.3.5 in Jessie now. The
Release Team can grant an exception, but this needs manual review by
Release Team members, who already have a lot of work. The probability of
having it accepted depends on the perceived chances that it introduces a
regression. In turn this depends among other thing on the size of the
diff.
