As far as I can tell, there is no reason to include the update_tracking/*.xml file in an NBM, since org.netbeans.updater.UpdateTracking creates such a file anyway (with more accurate contents) when an NBM is unpacked. The tracking file is only needed in the build tree as $module/netbeans/update_tracking/*.xml so that a distribution containing that module will have the correct tracking info precomputed, but it need not be part of the NBM.
Created attachment 11824 [details] Proposed patch (just addition of the exclude ot fileset)
The proposed patch adds exclude for "netbeans/update_tracking/*.xml" into getFileSet method of MakeNBM and MakeLNBM classes. Tested with normal nbm and with translatedfiles (L10N) nbms a it looks fine.
Patch looks reasonable to me.
Fixed in trunk. Added //NOI18N tags.
