Note: there is a new version of cabal-install available.
To upgrade, run: cabal install cabal-install

Which I do, but after another "cabal update" I'm given the same
message, meaning that cabal-install was not actually updated.
Any ideas on why this is happening?

The old one is in /usr/local/bin; the new one is in ~/.cabal/bin.  You may not have the latter in your $PATH yet, and even if you do you would need to run "hash -r" to get the shell to notice the new addition.
