I've noticed that I seem to be missing a few updates that I expected I'd be one of the first in line for as a Nexus 4 owner.

Firstly, the Master Key vulnerability fix doesn't seem to have reached my phone. At least, according to Bluebox security scanner

Secondly, I still have no visibility of the new Google Maps redesign

My phone is a generic operator free Nexus 4 running stock (custom kernel though). Anybody else still waiting, or have I fallen off the automatic updates conveyor belt so far?

We are sailing in the same boat. :( Rooted with only custom recovery rest stock.

Based in the UK. If you've had the vulnerability patch already, did it come in the form of an app download or an ota update?
Google hasn't released a patch for the vulnerability that's why you haven't gotten it. All they have done so far is release the code to their OEM's so they can patch their individual versions of Android. More than likely Nexus devices will get the patch in the 4.2.3 OTA whenever it gets released. In teh mean time their is an app in the Playstore, ReKey, that will address the vulnerability. Or you could just turn off install apps from unknown sources in the security settings which will also take care of the issue temporarily.

As for the other app updates they can take up to 2 weeks to deploy to all phones.
