This problem is already fixed in the subversion tree of our code. We just haven't released a new version of wyBuild between then and now and thus no new pre-compiled wyUpdate (yet). You can always build wyUpdate from source and get the latest fixes.
This problem was originally reported back in October by someone else.
It is now January and I too now find myself standing in the same gopher hole after several hours of head scratching.
When can we expect a fix for this problem?

I can obviously work around the problem but my only concern is that if I do that, then when the fixed wyUpdate is released, then my app will become broken.
Do my copies of wyUpdate.exe in the field update themselves automatically?
If so then my app will become broken when you release your fix won't it?

No, wyUpdate self-updates it will overwrite your compiled version with ours (so long as you don't host self-updates on your own site).
