Comment (by solarissmoke):

 I thought I would give this a crack.

 Here's a patch - it allows us to pass error information from
 wp_version_check() to the user.

 Regarding "last checked for updates" - this is a bit pointless, because
 visiting wp-admin/update-core.php triggers wp_version_check(), meaning WP
 will check for updates every time you load the page. Similarly, offering
 to "check again" immediately after we've just checked seems pointless. So
 I've removed it altogether. Only time it offers to try again is if there
 was an error.
