[tlu] Error at the end of a TLU update

An error just arose at the very end of applying a few package updates in TLU, after every post-update task (mktexlsr, mtxrun and updmap-sys, plus update of tlmgr.log) had completed successfully as far as I can tell.

The detailed log is below. The significant parts at the end are, I think

2020-08-20 12:51:27 +0000 Notice tlu_ipctask[5941]	child process pid = 5942 exited
2020-08-20 12:51:38 +0000 Notice -[TLMAuthorizedOperation _runUntilChildExit][4985]	No child process on kqueue after 5.5 seconds…bailing out.
2020-08-20 12:51:38 +0000 Notice -[TLMAuthorizedOperation _killChildProcesses][4985]	killing tlu_ipctask pid = 5941

I don't think there's anything to do, it's just the final closing of the tasks that went wrong, not the tasks themselves, right?

There was a half-hour time lag between opening TLU and applying the updates, as I was busy elsewhere, but I don't think that can play a role. 

This is on macOS Big Sur Public Beta 1 aka 11.0 (20A5343j), but I don't think that's related, as I've been using TLU with it for over a week now, without any problem so far. The only difference maybe is that I've just switched to French today in the OS language settings, after several days using US English.
