Brian, Yes same problem on Ubuntu 13.04 i686 Kernel 3.8.0-29 (and previous kernel).

Initially the update manager available updates field was blank although it showed several MB of downloads available. I didn't attempt updates fearing it would fall over. Days later when further updates came online the available updates field returned although I had the impression that it was stylistically different in some way: different font size? different or smaller icons? Changed layout? Hard to say, but the presentation appeared different to me.

Used apt-get from shell to download and install the updates (as I always do, I just use the GUI to read the changelogs and version info). All installed ok and to date there's no new updates available. Will add comment here next time updates come online to say if all is well or more probs.
