What causes this? A security update, cryptically named "KB917953", was
released earlier this year; ever since then my XP media center edition
keeps complaining that I have to download and install it, despite the
fact that I've already done so five or six times.

Download that update and install manually.
"Security Update for Windows XP (KB917953)"

Is it self-uninstalling?

No.

Is it something like the malicious software removal tool, with new
versions every month?

No.

Or is Windows Update simply being buggy?

In that case, most users should experience that problem. If the problem
persists, you may want to ask here: microsoft.public.windowsupdate
