Hi,
You can request the hotfix downloads in the KB article: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/968851. For more information, please refer to: http://blogs.technet.com/office_sustained_engineering/archive/2009/05/01/faq-concerning-cumulative-updates-for-april-2009-and-the-service-pack-2-for-the-2007-microsoft-office-system-and-microsoft-office-servers.aspx
If your SPD workflow is creating items in a Task list and there has another workflow attached to the task list that starts on item creation to update a field on the task item, sometimes, this causes the task item to be locked indefinitely. The workaround is to increase the number of concurrent workflows, as appropriate, by running this command on the SharePoint server: stsadm -o setproperty -propertyname workflow-eventdelivery-throttle -propertyvalue <A valid integer> [-url] <http://server_name>.
Let me know if I misunderstand you.

Hi,
April Cumulative update (KB 968850 and KB 968851) has fixed for this issue. After installation of April CU the workflow option 'Update the approval status' gets disabled and the approvers will have to approve the workflow as well as the items in the document library, the workflow will not do it automatically.
Hope it helps.
