For what it's worth, this isn't an Android-specific issue. I remember grumbling about my down-rev version of Windows Mobile and waiting for HTC to get an update out to me. I never did get it.
While the iPhone does have the issue to a slight degree, Apple's tighter control of the platform raises people's expectations. I don't think we'll ever see simultaneous releases like for the iPhone/iPod Touch, but at least simultaneous announcement of a timeline would be a start. I don't think the problem can be eliminated -- but it could be minimized. Delaying releases because certain proprietary UI features aren't ready for the new release makes one question the value and wisdom of having those proprietary UI features.
