yes: any RDF 1.1 data is still valid RDF 1.2, and any serialization of 
that data is still valid in the corresponding 1.2 format.

Of course, this is (in theory) not set in stone until these 
recommendations are published  as Recommendations,
but I don't think that the group intends to change this by then :)
