Hmmmm.. very interesting, the system in question is also a laptop. I basically moved slocate to cron.weekly, but this isn't much of a fix to the problem. If I ever figure it out I will post a message to the list. I don't think it is kernel related however as I am using the same kernel as I was previous to my update and I don't recall this behavior.. and I would definitely have noticed!
