No, this crash was not caused by mount flags on /tmp. It was caused by
removing execute permission from the gksu binary in /usr/bin. (I
removed that permission bit, not some part of the Ubuntu system) The
stack trace gathered by the crash reporter tool shows a different
starting point than the one in #219518.
Only tangential to this, gksu usually fails to display the first time
update-manager executes it. After I kill it, then retry the upgrade it
works. I was experimenting to try find a resolution. Since I couldn't
uninstall gksu, I removed the execute bit expecting udpate-manager to
skip it and try gnomesu instead. That is how I arrived at this
situation.
Although update-manager is not responsible for my interference with the
system, it shouldn't crash. It should catch the error and, at the very
least, simply display an error message.
Unless the patch you uploaded corrects run_synaptic() in
UpdateManager.py, this bug should not be marked a duplicate of #219518.
