The one in our house is working fine too, just don't worry about it as when Apple eventually release a WORKING update I suspect it'll be pushed to your already updated tablet anyway.
Having had one of the bricked devices, I am wondering if there is something hardware-related to it. Not all iPad Pro 9.7" models are affected, and there doesn't seem to be a rhyme or reason to it (e.g. it isn't as if it is just LTE or Wi-Fi models). That said, I noticed that even before the update, my old iPad Pro was giving me an error message occasionally with the Smart Keyboard (saying it was an unauthorized accessory) and was draining overnight when the keyboard was attached. I was about to schedule a Genius appointment to replace the keyboard when 9.3.2 bricked it. So far I haven't noticed that with the replacement. Not saying there is necessarily a causal relationship, just that it is a possibility.
How about too many different devices now to test everything on all of them. There's are reasons Jobs simplified the lineup. Spreading a little too thin lately.
Maybe, but I don't know how relevant this is to the case at hand, iOS updates aren't automatic.
Yeah, how dare they offer iPads and iPhones in multiple screen sizes or even go as far as offer OS updates for older devices.
Error 56, just as mysterious as what's going on at Area 51
if you're already on it, there's no need to hope for anything!
I can't believe that Apple which makes devices using their components and manufacturing has this many problems with software - especially issues that cause the device to fail or not start. It takes some serious negligence to allow these updates to make it through QC.
Yes. I was just about to update my post. Go into Settings>General>Storage & iCloud Usage. You will see the iOS 9.3.2 update listed in the downloads (it was about 250MB). You can tap on it and delete it. After you do that, System Update will confirm 9.3.1 is the most up to date.
"This issue affects a small number of users" 
I think it's pretty clear that the reputation that Apple once had for stable software releases is sinking.

This is Pro device for God's sake. Sold as a pro device that could replace a laptop. It is sold as a device that can change a professional's workflow. If I were a professional who's adapting to the new workflow and suddenly everything is gone because I am doing exactly what apple suggests (update your device), I would be so furious that you have no idea.
If you release a Pro device it has to be perfect. Always.
Settings > General > Storage and iCloud Useage > Manage Storage
You should see it on the list.
Not yet at least in the Pro 3 I have - and Microsoft makes the OS compatible across 1000's of configurations of devices from tablets to PCs.
Now make sure that you only compliment Apple on this error, otherwise you're branded as an Android-loving anti-Apple forum troll. No disappointment allowed with the recurring updates straight from the manufacturer that bricks people's stock iPads.
For the record, in case anyone cares, I upgraded my 256GB cellular from b4 to RTM without issue.
