I didn't know that that patch worked! When I tried it I got a bunch of errors but that's beside the point. The issue is that it is still pretty much a re-write of update.php and as soon as something changes in update.php the two are out of sync. I'm glad that it's working though because I was a little worried that a scriptable update system wouldn't be around in time for my own personal reasons.

Is there any reason that this hasn't been done before? More importantly does any one have any good reason to not separate preforming the updates from the UI?
The Drush patch in your first link http://drupal.org/node/194107 works like a charm. If your goal is being able to invoke update.php from the command line, take a closer looks at it. I've been using it for a while.
