This is probably "horse already out of the barn" talk, but is there a way to insert a popup just before that dialog comes up in some preamble that says "when the following happens, do this"?
Yes, there is: Fix the server to produce the correct diff for the earlier update. I have no idea why that happens but it's clear that the problem is caused by an earlier update which fails to deliver the change in class definition. Kernel-ar.348 clearly has the new class var but the diff produced for it doesn't.
