The Microsoft Update website doesn't detect that update as available for my WinXP SP2 system.

Mine either, though there was one other high priority update.

It didn't detect an update for my system either, I have WinXP SP2. What day of the month do these updates fall on so I can quit wasting my time checking?

Every second Tuesday of each month typically - but sometimes if somethings critical enough they could release it earlier. You still of course need to visit the Microsoft update website to get non-critical updates like Root Certificates which I updated just the other day.
