Comment:

 To follow up on my previous comment, I created a simple patch
 (add_filters.patch) which adds 3 filters and placed them in the wp_*_check
 methods.

 - check_update_core
 - check_update_plugin
 - check_update_theme

 By default they will return true, however if you don't want to check for
 new updates automatically you can add the following 3 lines:
 {{{
   add_filter( 'check_update_core', '__return_false' );  // don't check for
 core updates
   add_filter( 'check_update_plugin', '__return_false' );  // don't check
 for plugin updates
   add_filter( 'check_update_theme', '__return_false' );  // don't check
 for theme updates
 }}}

 It won't break any core functionality if the filters are not in place, and
 obviously should only be used when the user knows what he/she is doing,
 just like the auto_update_* filters.

 I've tested this locally with WordPress 4.1 (clean install from SVN
 trunk), and the errors described before don't pop-up, even when the
 transients for the updates are reset.

 Since this is my first patch (yeee!), I added 'has-patch' and 'needs-
 testing', just to be sure :)
