The current status of the release branch is "1.53.0 Closed, except for bug fixes and doc changes".
<http://www.boost.org/development/index.html>
This will be the case until 12/31.

So, merging bug fixes to the release branch is not only allowed, but encouraged.

However, if I were you, I would wait until some of the test bots cycled, to make sure that nothing is broken - then merge to release.
