Anybody know if the new Apr 15 update also provides 1080i deinterlacing? What about upscaling of SD content on Blu-ray?

Well, now it's decision time. Do I buy a new receiver that can accept 5.1 LPCM? Or do I buy a new BD player with 5.1 output and feed that to my existing receiver. Either way, I'm out about $600

Get the new receiver.
HDMI is the future. Analog 5.1 connections are the past. Don't spend (waste) $$ in a new BD player for an obsolete connection. Invest the money in a receiver with HDMI 1.3. Not only will it take PCM this way, an HDMI 1.3 receiver will take advanced audio codecs and serve as an HDMI video switcher.
