Good question :-) Here's a couple of clues:
- multinational company
- standardized environment applied to thousands of clients
- IS department outsourced to IBM

Ok, I'll try to find a client where I'm allowed to muck around with updates.
Do you recommend that I try with only installing 867282 first, or that I
install both 889669 and 867282 straight away?

Just to confirm with you: our issue should already have been corrected as I
have the 831167 (but it isn't) so now we will be testing with the latest
and greatest stuff to see if it's ok there?
