Not really. Per check for updates cycle I get 3 failures like this:
2015-10-19 12:54:01:686 1052 27f4 Agent Bundle contains no deployed children and thus is invalid.
2015-10-19 12:54:01:686 1052 27f4 Agent Update {65CDB5FE-D1E6-4B76-AC06-2486E1E6ED82}.201 is not a valid bundle. Not returning it.
..which suggests that something might be messed on their WSUS server; but the Software Center tool they use to manage patching has 6 installs at 0% (these look to be patch Tuesday items), and 14 that fail over to a retry in just under a month from now (these appear to be updates tied to installing a service pack for office 2010). I don't have any way to map the GUIDs to KB items; but Google is first showing (mostly sketchy looking) pages from 2013, so WTE those are I don't think they're any of the current set of updates. The invalid bundle warnings first appeared on Friday, the GUIDs in question were showing up without error as far back as the top of the log (sept 30).
The log file has nothing about trying to download anything that I can see.
OTOH I'd assumed something was wrong with the WSUS server already based on my not getting a reply. They tend not to send out "we know, you're the NNNth person to report it" type emails for something that's broken sitewide (unless it causes a work stoppage in which case the entire company gets an email); while if the problem was believed to be on my end I'd've expected a tech to've remoted into my PC within an hour of my email to sanity check the basics.

WSUS tends to randomly fail. We've fixed that at our company by giving it it's own virtual sandbox on the HYPER-V Server, which seems to work well. Sometimes it still has it's failovers, but that is our own fault for using MS products.

This's been out since at least Friday afternoon; which probably means it's something more serious than a reboot needed faceplant.

After poking them with a stick again this morning I finally got a response. The tier 1 tech thinks it's software center on my PC that's puked all over itself not something at their end; but escalated the ticket to someone more senior who hasn't gotten back to me yet.

Think of a sentence where the use of the word panoply doesn't come off as pretentious and contrived.
I can't.

Could this be due to the fact that your statement lacks the full panoply of panoplieness?

From Wikipedia: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Panoply[^]:
"Thus "panoply" refers to the full armour of a hoplite or heavy-armed soldier, i.e. the shield, breastplate, helmet and greaves, together with the sword and lance."
IMO it's not contrived, but is it pretentious?
If you have an important point to make, don't try to be subtle or clever. Use a pile driver. Hit the point once. Then come back and hit it again. Then hit it a third time - a tremendous whack.

We didn't have monopoly, so we played panoply, but, then we had a terrible argument about whether or not we both committed suicide after the last time we played, since that ended in a draw.

If anything, I learned a new word. Thanks. 
I am fairly certain, I will have no need for it, for the remainder of my life.

I tried, I really did. However all I could come up with was a panoply of contrived and pretentious sounding sentences from my cornucopia of best practise sentences.

Apple is attempting to have a full panoply of devices; which will be collectively known as an iPanoplytm.
There! Does it really matter if it is true? ..and isn't it?
