org.eclipse.update.internal.core.UpdateManagerUtils.sameURL(URL, URL) calls URL#equals(Object), but the latter resolves the host of the URLs via DNS lookups, which is most of the time not what you want.

I don't know if the org.eclipse.update.core plug-in is still in use, but if it is, you should change it to compare the strings from URL#toExternalForm().

	if (!sharedConfigFileURL.equals(configFileURL)) ...

The Eclipse Update component is no longer under development, and no longer exists in the Eclipse Platform 4.x stream. If this problem still occurs in Eclipse Platform 4.2 or later, please enter a new bug report against Equinox p2.
