This isn't an -update- problem.
The argument saa1 saa2 saa3 is not an expression, so your syntax is
illegal now and was illegal before the -update-.
An expression is here whatever evaluates to a single number for each
observation.

I just updated my ado files and am now having a problem with the -egen-
function, -count-. Fortunately, -rownonmiss- works.
Stata 11.1 completely up-to-date on Windows.
. egen count1=count(saa1 saa2 saa3)
saa1saa2saa3 not found
r(111);
. egen count2=rownonmiss(saa1 saa2 saa3)
. tab count2
count2 | Freq. Percent Cum.
------------+-----------------------------------
1 | 58 6.18 6.18
2 | 187 19.91 26.09
3 | 694 73.91 100.00
------------+-----------------------------------
Total | 939 100.00
