It's fixed. I was able to avoid hacking an existing MCM by putting
a fixed version of MonticelloConfigurations-dtl.161 in a branch
(MonticelloConfigurations.squeak52) and adding an update map to
point to MonticelloConfigurations.squeak52-dtl.162.

Updating a fresh Squeak 5.2 release image works again, and the
new update map even has a comment in its version history thanks
to the 161 update :-)
