As a further couple of data points, I re-tried the upgrade three more times and received this error on two more occasions.
On all three failures it was in the process of downloading a very large package - blobwars-data the first time 44MB of 66MB downloaded. The second time it was downloading lilypond-doc and was at around 96MB of 112MB or so. The third one waswesnoth-1.8-music and it was at 39MB of 48 or so. This was upgrading my son's PC, hence he has all the games and graphical things you could imagine. We don't have a fast connection here, so it can take quite a while to download these things, making me wonder if this is a timeout that's set too short. It's incredibly frustrating, also, that even if it's already downloaded 600MB of the upgrade, if you quit and start again it starts right back at the beginning of the download. If apt-get doesn't do that I can't quite see why update-manager doesn't save those things in a cache as well.
