Comment (by alexvorn2):

 I think in this case the function should return true, and that's all.

 update_option( 'foo', 'ram' ) - should return true
 update_option( 'foo', 'bar' ) - should return true
 update_option( 1, 'ram' ) - should return false (Line 344 - error
 inserting in database)
 update_option( ' ', 'ram' ) - should return false (Line 263 - empty option
 name)

 To do this we need to change how the function works.
