This bug has been fixed upstream as of April 2010, but for some reason NOT in any of the Ubuntu packages since.

upstream:
http://anonscm.debian.org/cgit/collab-maint/apt-xapian-index.git/tree/debian/cron.weekly

ubuntu:
http://bazaar.launchpad.net/~ubuntu-branches/ubuntu/wily/apt-xapian-index/wily/view/head:/debian/cron.weekly

This was done deliberately, so the bug should be modified to WONT FIX.

Agree or disagree, you can see the reason for the WONT FIX here:

(One might argue that Software Center should handle the database being updated more gracefully. If anyone feels sufficiently strongly that way, I would recommend opening a bug on Software Center.)
