My desktop is continously upgraded since feisty, too, while my laptop was freshly installed with gutsy tribe 2. So when I come home tonight, I'll take a look at possible differences in the configuration files.
Another thing (this is really farfetched, but I'll mention it anyways): I had a (some time ago) a similar effect using VDR (the Digital TV application). Started from gnome-terminal, it would occasionally freeze gnome-terminal, and when trying to print the next debug message to stdout/stderr, it would freeze because g-t would not print them. AFAIK, update-manager and synaptic use the same codebase for displaying the terminal as gnome-terminal does. So, I'll try to find out what happens when I upgrade from xterm rather than from gnome-terminal This might be unrelated, but I have a strange gut feeling about this...
