For those interested, I tried this:

apt-get install python2.5-dbg valgrind
then, edit your /usr/bin/update-manager, line 1:
#!/usr/bin/python2.5-dbg

Then:
valgrind --log-file=python-errors /usr/bin/update-manager

This produced the attachment, and then said:

Original exception was:

I'll see if I can patch things a bit...
