Comment (by investici):

 @toscho: thanks for your patch, it is a step in the right direction. Any
 plans for review/inclusion in core?

 whether this bug is fixed by that patch is debatable though, we'd much
 prefer having the users opt-in before leaking so much information or at
 least make the users/admins aware of the fact (and the reason why?) that
 information not related to check for updates is sent while checking for
 updates.

 what is the best way to get consensus (and a fix) for this from the wp
 developers?
