I agree with James W. Collins, the bug is still present and has been since early Karmic beta days if not longer.

Also I agree with the observation that it seems to work if you click the Install button shortly after the popup has appeared.

Usually when I encounter this bug my machine has been left idle for hours, sometimes overnight, so the popup could have been on the screen for a long time.

After Install didn't work this morning, I just clicked Check and Install before opening the bug report page and finding this bug, so the install had already been run and I'm not sure if the stuff in my .xession-errors is from the error or the subsequent succesful install run but it did have a python traceback from the update notifier:
