probably, but I do nhot have enough knowledge to decide wether it is exacltly the same.
At least with update-manager it appears similar, though update-manager is called from the menu without gksu. But I have the same also with synaptic (it is called with gksu from the menu) which does not start at all anymore - I even do not see the annoying 'double-popup's' asking for password twice.

Also bug 55172 seems to have never been fixed (set to undecided).

Maybe it is also related to amount of RAM:
on Hardy-amd64 I have full access to 6GB of ECC-RAM, while Hardy-ia32 runs in a VM with just 1GB of RAM.
