I'd suspect the OS 'upgrade' process, assuming you did the "insert winxp disk say yes to 'this disk contains a newer version of windows would you like to upgrade?'" dance. FWIW I didn't have this problem with the 9203 patchset on winXP - but the box was always XP. The other pertinent difference was that I never did get around to installing 9202 on the box either.

There is a second candidate though which is the OUI, there is a patchset for the installer which is said to address one-off patch issues.

This may be as much use as a chocolate teapot of course.
