So I finally give up on the Adobe Updater, (note: after five days), and download the specific update.
First oddity, the Updater was trying to install Premiere Pro 3.2, but the Adobe download site has 3.01, 3.1, 3.11, and 3.2. Meh, what the hell, download them all.
Let's run the 3.2 updater. Start it, authenticate, it dies.
Whaa?
Lather, rinse, repeat.
Well, that's not right. Hmm, let's read the logs. Oh look, line after line of babble, and then the money shot: Safari was running. No dialogs, no warnings, just silent failure. No really, look, here are the log files:

Wow...good thing there's all that detail about conflicting processes...not.
Why, why, WHY does this have to happen?
It happens with the After Effects updater too. I'm beyond infuriated and well into agog at this point.
---Update---
Even more agog at how the After Effects 8.0.2 updater has NO UI, but LOCKS UP MY MACHINE. Fucking Console isn't updating, can't even SSH into it.
Whomever made the decision to do this installer should be tased in the taint.
