[OS X TeX] TeX Live package manager critical update failing

Under OS X 10.9.1 with texlive 2013 and TeX Live Utility 1.18b2, when I start the app, I see an entry

  Package          Status               Installed   Remote   Size
  texlive.infra    Updated on server    31673       32970    298.2 KB     

and get a pop-up window saying "Critical updates available. 5 packages are available for update. Of these, the TeX Live installer packages listed here must be updated first. Update now?".

But when I click the Update button, I eventually just get an Update Failed pop-up. (My usual setting is for a mirror repository, but after the same failure happened with that, I tried the ftp://gut.ctan.org . . . entry directly.

Here's the log:
