Didn't seem to nitice this - I left the box for five or ten minutes and
was not prompted for further updates. Then I got bored and hit
System->Administration->Update System again.

That found 35 security updates, 65 bug fix updates and 25 enhancement
updates.

Works For Me(TM)! I got the import dialog, verified the key ID & hit
import. Got the authentication dialog (which I couldn't screenshot since
it's modal) and after a brief delay the process moved on to the test
transaction.

FWIW this is what pkmon logged at the time:

Didn't see anything like this.

Thanks for giving us something to test!
