This looks quite similar to bug 824476.

Status changed to 'Confirmed' because the bug affects multiple users.

[Barry Drake (b-drake)]

This was the first time I had opened the software centre since installing and updating Alpha 1. Subsequently the software centre opened while I was making this report.
