That's because Google uses separate names for it's IPv6 enabled services
- at least if you've not taken additional measures to make the "normal"
Google names to resolve to IPv6 addresses:
http://www.google.com/intl/en/ipv6/

But Rob's case is different. For him, update manager wants to connect to
the IPv6 address gb.archive.ubuntu.com resolves to.
OTOH, for him www.google.com resolved to 1.0.0.0. And that's bad.
