Stewart,
I just fought the same problem.  I do not think my solution is eligant 
but it worked.  What I did was to use a terminal window and execute the 
up2date -u command.  Each time it stopped.  I used the control c command 
twice to cancel the up2date session and then restart it again with the 
up2date -u command.  The program is able to restart at the correct 
point.  You have to watch it but it beats not getting the updates.
Hope this helps until the program get fixed.
