Fatal call to asXML [#1839378]

Running on Ubuntu 12.04. There is a drupal 7.17 update in the wings for my site, but for the past couple of weeks I've been getting this issue when I run drush:

Obtaining release notes for above projects...
PHP Fatal error: Call to a member function asXML() on a non-object in /usr/share/php/drush/commands/pm/release_info/updatexml.inc on line 218
Drush command terminated abnormally due to an unrecoverable error. [error]
Error: Call to a member function asXML() on a non-object in
/usr/share/php/drush/commands/pm/release_info/updatexml.inc, line 218

At which point the core update aborts.

Would really like to get to the bottom of this.

I'm having the same problem. Updating a Drupal 6 sites works fine, though.

Here is the output with --verbose --debug:
