Unfortunately no one has informed me about this :(
The only I know that this may happen is if someone has created a file
that starts with 'update_log.-'
Are you sure you haven't at any time created a file yourself that
starts with 'update_log.' ?

In this case the easy fix is to start mysqld with an argument to
--log-update that is a filename with an extension; In this case
mysqld will not generate a new name but only reuse the old one.
The manual section 'The update log' includes a lot more information
about this topic.
