Found the problem; it's the '-d' on the end of do-release-upgrade! The
-d instructs the upgrade manager to try and load the _development_
versions; however, 8.04.1 is fully released so there is no development
packages to fetch. So give this a try:

sudo aptitude upgrade
sudo aptitude dist-upgrade
sudo aptitude install update-manager-core
sudo do-release-upgrade

and you should be good to go. Note: don't forget to do the 'sudo
aptitude dist-upgrade'.

I also found a related bug:
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/update-manager-core/+bug/223741
I'll put a note on there about the '-d' screwing things up & also a note
to the upgrade page on the website.
