KC: I would recommend an experiment: create an Updater which does one cat/box per click but, otherwise, processes exactly as it always does and have someone with the grey-goo-fence issue try it. If nothing else, it saves them having to do quite so much work using the Dock to work around the issue; and it might help localize where you can work around it in the Updaters.
If they did allow one click/box operation I am pretty sure there would be no grey goo fence triggered. It definitely has to do with the rapid repetition of several boxes triggering the fence. The only way I can update boxes on my land now is to rezz only 3 boxes at a time. Usually with only 3 boxes to update, there is no error. Then I rezz another 3, and restart.
(And before I did this I had to take all my boxes on the land into inventory, including every box for sale at my shop at home. I closed my kittycats shop for now, since updating and repricing one by one w/ the cattery was too much work. I tried to take some boxes to my secondary market shop, but grey goo fence was the same there. So much for the easy update they claim.)
When I try to update 4 boxes (or more) I usually get the grey goo fence on the last box. Then I send that box to the cattery and back, because I don't trust that that box is not partly broken by the fence error.
Another interesting thing - even when the grey goo fence errors occur, the Updater claims it updated all the boxes - that is the count it gives at the end is false. The ONLY way to know what box is updated is to use Info and check the version number.
And finally, another new effect of LIVE cats and the grey goo error. I said before that it was only boxes having the problem. Well, I had several live breeders that stopped talking to the KC server after they were updated to 1.56. None of the health tags above a live cat were changing. I noticed this when Happiness remained at 96% overnight. I have no milk rezzed on my land. And Love was also stuck, not increasing. These live cats showed Version 1.56 also, so I thought they were not broken by the update. I was wrong.
Sticking all my live cats into the Cattery and back again, fixed the data update problem. I wonder how many others breeders think all is well because it looks like it worked. If you ever get a grey goo fence error from the updater, the cat is not updated and is possibly damaged, no matter what the version number says.

Still waiting for a response from Linden Lab. They turned my problem over to a "technical specialist". I expect he will tell me to unplug my router and only use the latest SL viewer. Even if I start the updater inworld and immediately log out, they will still try to blame your computer, or Firestorm. LL logic
KittyCatS! Updater 1.56: give inventory failure: grey goo fence: rapid or recursive
