I do have Norton Internet Security running, but I don't believe that was the problem since I checked the actual file that Windows Update v5 downloaded and opened it up using winzip and the versions in that file were the versions that got installed.
The version of Q867801 that is downloaded with Windows Update V5 is 6,0,2800,1557. The version that can be downloaded from the bulletin is 6,0,2800,1552. The strange thing is that the 6,0,2800,1557 contains older versions of the file, but since it's q867801.inf version is newer, the older versions get preference.
This is why after I installed the manual update from the bulletin, Windows Update kept reporting I hadn't installed the update yet.
I got around this by installing the Windows Update version of Q867801 so WU would stop bothering me and then installed the IE SP1 rollup Q871260 which contains the newer file versions.
Not the best way of doing this, but it got around the WU problem.
