This is fixed since Ubuntu 12.10 with the merger of the user menu and device menu: the menu no longer says "Updates Available" in any circumstance.

When the *only* updates available are not currently installable, the device menu still says "Updates Available...". This is not useful and wastes time. I've clarified the spec to cover this. <https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DeviceMenuAndUserMenu?action=diff&rev2=8&rev1=7> I think this is different from bug 819495, because in that bug "Updates Available..." disappears after opening Update Manager. Here it does not.
