Comment(by rdump):

 I see this sometimes/most times today (2012-09-14) on TorBrowser-2.2.39-1
 -osx-x86_64-en-US on two Mac OS X 10.6.8 systems.  It appears to happen
 after the first launch of a new install of TorBrowser-2.2.39-1-osx-x86_64
 -en-US for me.

 At the first launch on each system, check.torproject.org did not indicate
 a security update was available (~15:00 and ~17:00 UTC).

 I configured each TBB to test a new private bridge (running 0.2.3.22-rc on
 OpenBSD 5.1), and relaunched the TBB.  Through the bridge, I was then
 informed by check.torproject.org "There is a security update available for
 the Tor Browser Bundle" (~15:00 and ~17:00 UTC).  Reconfiguring to not use
 the bridge and relaunching on one of the test systems resulted in "There
 is a security update available for the Tor Browser Bundle" (~22:10 &
 ~22:20 UTC).

 Replacing the TorBrowser-2.2.39-1-osx-x86_64-en-US TorBrowser_en-US.app
 with a fresh copy resulted in check.torproject.org not telling me a
 security update is available (~22:25 UTC).  Quitting and restarting that
 copy (no config changes beyond window positions) returned me to "There is
 a security update available for the Tor Browser Bundle" (~22:30 UTC).
