I think the problem is with lxsession and not lubuntu-software-center. Here's how to confirm:
 1. using Lubuntu Vivid Alpha 1 (not affected have the bug),
     * replace the old lubuntu-software-center (0.0.8-0ubuntu1) with the new one (0.0.10-0ubuntu1) → should not be affected by the bug
     * replace the old lxsession (0.4.9.2+git20140410-0ubuntu3) with the new one (0.5.2-0ubuntu1) → should be affected by the bug
 2. using Lubuntu Vivid Final Beta or Vivid Daily (affected by the bug),
     * replace the new lubuntu-software-center with the old one → should be affected by the bug
     * replace the new lxsession with the old one → should not be affected by the bug

Note that it may be required to replace not only lxsession but lxsession-data, and lxsession-default-apps.

I know Brendan hopes to deal with that tomorrow, but if anyone wants to beat him to the punch, go ahead.

If it is lxsession, then we'll need to change the affected package, obviously, and re-triage it. Jörn is the main person in charge of LSC as far as I know and also LSC is to be replaced with Cute Updater once LXQt comes into existence, so having it not be LSC would be ideal ☺ I will email him to see if he can provide further insight.
