personally would not trust him, unless the program is open-source, in which case I would download the source, check for any "bugs" (e.g. viruses) and then build myself.

I just followed the links you gave on the U3 forum. One of them states:
Scary, but it seems this type of thing is very easy to do. USBDumper has been out how long? A few months? Already it has been modified this much.

No, never trust "hacked software"
The Universal Updater is a hacked version of Memorex's U3 Updater.
However if you would like to make your own updater,
I have posted instructions here.

** Note the Memorex version forces a format of the U3 drive **
** So backup your drive first **

I agree that you should not use software hacked by someone else. I would never do it.
I want to point people to your site, however I could not find any contact information on the site (e.g. About Me, Personal Web site, Support or contact email).
I want to be able to tell people that you are a more trustworthy source to use but feel that if your provide contact information on your site it would be easier for me to do. If it is there I could not find it. If it is not could you provide.
I think you will get a lot of visits.
