Hint about a possible update failure reason

[strugee]

This feels ugly because it doesn't fix the underlying bug, but it's incredibly hard to trace down the root cause in this situation and it causes updates to fail which is pretty critical. So this is probably better than nothing.

IMO better than guessing, make the actual error easier to find. It should be written to /var/lib/qubes/updates/errors in dom0, so qubes-dom0-update script may check this file and show it to the user. If that still doesn't contain enough details, you can modify qubes-receive-updates script to save stderr of qfile-dom0-unpacker there too.
