This appears to be a bug in update-manager, where it fails to match the currently installed version against the changelog, and consequently doesn't truncate the changelog where it should, displaying the entire changelog history. I am not familiar with update-manager's code, but the code in question appears to be in the _get_changelog_or_news() function, in UpdateManager/Core/MyCache.py (https://bazaar.launchpad.net/~ubuntu-core-dev/update-manager/main/view/head:/UpdateManager/Core/MyCache.py#L210, in the 'while True' loop towards the end of the function).
