The warning page that accompanied my battery states DO NOT charge a Lipo battery if the voltage falls below 3.2V for a single cell, 6.4V for a 2 cell, and 9.6V for a 3 cell.

My question is why? What happens if my 2 cell Lipo is at 6.3999V and I try to charge it?

Yeah they are far from correct. You may charge a battery however low the voltage may be. The fact is most chargers will not detect your LiPo battery at or below about 2.8 volts per cell. Typically 3.2 volts is the threshold you do not want to drop below purely to save the life of your battery and for safety's sake. I cannot imagine why they would include such a warning.
