I've also experienced this bug for a few months now (both in gutsy and hardy). FWIW, it appears to be independent of the update-manager; I've run into the hang (which does not always occur) with various applications using gksu to enable administrative access. This is a bug with gksu, not with the update-manager. The fact that update-manager might be able to detect the hang and report an error is something that might be addressed here, though.
