Automatic update can bring computer out of hibernate?

I'll try this again.

I found my wife's Windows XP desktop powered up yesterday morning. She had
placed it in hibernate just before midnight the night before. I searched
around and found that the WindowsUpdate.Log file that had been modified in
the wee hours. If I am interpreting this correctly it seems automatic update
(AU) took the computer out of hibernation at 1:00 AM and then something did
(or did not) happen at 3:00 AM. The machine then stayed on. I looked at
Control Panel|Automatic Updates and sure enough it was set for automatic
download at 3:00 AM (I think this was set up during Windows XP
installation).

Question: Is Windows Update supposed to turn the computer on for any reason?
I thought that during hibernate NOTHING was running -- and certainly not the
CPU checking the time. Is this happening via the NIC?

I'll obviously take updates out of automatic.

Here are the pertinent log entries:
