As Diane replied, the matter has been reported. In the mean time, you might
consider just setting AU to run less frequently or temporarily turning it
off altogether. Even if it's allowed to run you can simply Cancel the
operation. I realize that both options are a PITA, but there's no need to
actually do the install each time AU offers it. At least those options
should alleviate the permissions issues.
Well, not the permissions issues -- those occur once the XML 1.1.3
update is installed (regardless of the MAU issue).
Here's the permissions of the folder before 12.2.3 is installed:

*That's* a larger problem. (Because I dumped my
"com.microsoft.autoupdate2.plist file prior to doing this -- I'm not
getting anything show up in MAU again after this -- yet...)
