Comment (by steevithak):

 Bummer... so, it's preferable to continue to display potentially site
 breaking updates alongside harmless ones with no indication of danger?
 That hardly seems user friendly. This is not an isolated problem, we've
 had site breakage due to plugin updates on other occasions on several
 wordpress sites we manage and there's never any *obvious* indication in
 the wordpress plugin update dialog that you're about to install an update
 that will break your site. All I'm asking for is a simple flag of some
 kind - a bright red "caution" indicator or something that says "caution -
 do not install this update until reading author's warning here <link to
 warning>".
