I can reproduce exactly Simon's behaviour.
Added gksu here and set update-manager to invalid.
** Also affects: gksu (Ubuntu)
Importance: Undecided
Status: New
** Changed in: update-manager (Ubuntu)
Status: New => Invalid
** Summary changed:
- update manager should show invalid
Seems like a gksu bug. Starting gksu and entering a wrong password gives this
without asking for a password for a second time:
$ gksu -d echo Hello
No ask_pass set, using default!
xauth: /tmp/libgksu-XYZq2S/.Xauthority
STARTUP_ID: gksu/echo 'Hello'/7881-0-simon-notebook_TIME5167444
cmd[0]: /usr/bi

Thanks for your bugreport
gksu should repeat the prompt three times if there was a typo. What
version of ubuntu do you run exactly?
