I just do not want to look like some idiot who is riding their brakes all the time when ICC is in use.

I had the update done just prior to the snow fall. I had a week to use it before the winter came on but I knew something wasn't right.
Now that we've had dry roads I've been using it again, here's whats different from the original:
1. Tends to hunt much more than original, seems to make a difference on color/reflection of the car I'm following, following some cars my car seems smooth but for most it tends to surge back and forth, some cars it gets so bad I have to shut off ICC
2. It doesn't always see the car until it gets right on its butt, then applies brakes fairly hard and backs off. It never did this before, it was always a smooth transition on speed when I came up to a car in front of me.
My thought is that its aimed too high or too low, left and right are ok as I've passed in both lanes and was watching for it and no issues.
I called my dealer and they agreed with a possible alignment issue, I'll now make it a priority to get it looked at now that the weather has finally let up so that I can use ICC again, I'm a (was) big fan of ICC and use it often (except in winter).
I have a feeling the braking just before impact can be fixed but I have a feeling from what I'm reading that the surging is here to stay with the update. As others have said, wish I could go back to the orginal.
