I had a somewhat different experience with the same batch of updates:
COMPLETE DISASTER!! After I rebooted, it didn't recognize the password
I've been using so long my fingers type it automatically. After hours
of disbelief and trying everything I could think of, I've blown the
drive.

I installed the new Messenger right before that; nothing else for quite
a while. Didn't do anything else unusual.

I typed the password in the userid box just to confirm the keys work. I
tried userid and password for Messenger, on a lark that maybe they got
confused. Oh, and: CAPS WAS NOT ON.
