After some more investigation I was able to reproduce a similar hang as described here with a similar strace pattern. Could you please try http://people.ubuntu.com/~mvo/update-manager/release-upgrader-0.87.26-debug6.tar.gz and see if that works for you and does not hang? It worked in my tests but my test-setup is a bit artificial as I can not reproduce the hang on a normal machine. Feedback is very welcome.
