My car went in yesterday for the software update. However the plan changed, because on arrival I was told that because Honda had approved a warranty claim for a hardware exchange, the replacement unit had actually arrived so the plan now was to swap the unit and ensure it had the latest software. So that's what happened. Too soon to tell whether it's fixed the problem, I need to run it for a week or more to check thoroughly. Nor is that going to be much help to others to establish whether it's a H/W or S/W problem. But the new build does give you a TA button on the top menu so you can toggle traffic announcements off easily if you don't want them.
For info, the system data before yesterday was:
Android version: 4.0.4
Kernel version: 3.1.10
build@HL6#2
SMP PREEMPT Thurs Feb 19 15:13:35 JST 2015
Build number 02.084.02.0021
And after yesterday it's exactly as reported by kabot60, ie:
Android version: 4.0.4
Kernel version: 3.1.10
build@HL6#2
SMP PREEMPT Tue Jun 9 01:22:59 JST 2015
Build number 09.08C.00.0021
If there is a "major software update" in the offing, then my car clearly didn't get it.

That is a really helpful contribution, thank you. Although I'm sorry to hear the problem extends to Civics as well. It's also pretty disappointing to hear that (a) there's been a software update available since at least December that my dealer didn't know about, and (b) that it didn't fix the problem.
