You also need to make the message more clear on the landing page users are directed to by the Growl updater. It leads the user to believe that if they are using Lion that they cannot continue to use 1.2.2. Remember - most of your users are not developers, but instead users who installed your software because an installer from another app (Adium, Trillian to name a couple) prompted them to do so. I'm not so sure that it wasn't intentional dishonesty, but if it was you should fix that page ASAP and also not drive users crazy with update messages.
