i found what i believe to be the cause of this bug and have checked in code to 
fix
it. the fix will be included in the next release.

as a temporary workaround until then, you can avoid this behavior by closing GFW
after any new applications have registered/passwords been set and before you do 
the
update (exiting GFW via the 'Exit' menu from the system tray).

GFW saves its state (including applications list and passwords) when it closes, 
and
the bug was not closing down GFW properly when an update was being performed.
