That means they don't block your account after 1 or even 5 identical updates. The rule is their so that you don't write a script to update your ip every half an hour even if it hasn't changed. So unless you are planning to reboot quite often it isn't that much of a problem. (If you are planning to test some configuration changes you could disable ez-ipupdate for a while.
This being said I went on looking for a clean solution & eventually used the feature of ez-ipupdate to launch a program after every succesfull update. I wrote a script that will make a backup of the ez-ipupdate package every time ez-ipupdate updates my ip. This backup includes the cache file ez-ipupdate is using so the cache file will automaticly be restrored upon reboot.
