Actually, on closer inspection I found the place where a fglrx
installation and an fglrx-updates installation log (jockey.log) differ:

fglrx log excerpt:

---------------------------------------


So that WARNING line in the fglrx-updates log wasn't there in the fglrx log, and shortly thereafter the installation fails with an ERROR.
I hope that this information may help somebody more experienced with jockey/fglrx to fix that bug.

Title:
  installing fglrx (post-release updates) fails

Status in “jockey” package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  Installing fglrx (post-release updates) on up to date oneiric fails.
  This happens both with and without the normal fglrx package installed.
  I have attached the log for the case where the normal fglrx is
  installed.
