The solution was more trivial than expected. The error was caused by the
fact that TEMP env. variable contained blank. Once we changed that the
upgrade to sp3a worked OK. The errors in Security log must be generated by
the security enchancements we enabled. I hope in the future Microsoft will
provide more usefull information in the log or in the documentation.
