As I understand your text, if you get medical request soon (in few weeks) of your FSW application than why you want to apply for work permit?
now at this stage you are going to finished your all stages of your PR.
my advice is if you get medical soon than go for medical ASAP , you will be get visa soon. that means no need for work permit application, there will be no negative impact on your application but it's meaning less to apply!!

I am in a fix here myself...I have applied for FSW1. It is likely that I will get a job offer in the next few weeks and applying for work permit could be an option. I am not even worried about the dual intent bit, but how it affects the FSW application vis a vis medical request (if I don't do that before the work permit) and even passport request. I haven't got confirmation yet, but would be happy to prepare myself along these lines. Your inputs will be very appreciated! Mandie
