For the source.squeak.org/squeak52 update stream that is used for
updating a Squeak 5.2 release image, the problem is caused by me.

I added MonticelloConfigurations-dtl.161 to the repository, which
is the update that provides MCConfigurationExtended to allow editing
MCM configuration maps with comments and version history.

Unfortunately, MonticelloConfigurations-dtl.161 also contains the
update from MonticelloConfigurations-mt.156 that calls the new method
in Tools-mt.888 for opening a Transcript if not already open, and
this leads to the DNU in update processing.

A simple hack-fix would be to re-save MonticelloConfigurations-dtl.161
in the squeak52 repository, but without the change to MCConfiguration>>log
that leads to the problem.

If nobody talks me out of it, I'll make that update soon.
