Just tested, and updating the game doesn't consume a life, at least off-Steam.
Maybe there's a problem on the Steam side, but probably not.
I don't think you actually get to the point of logging in if the server tells you a newer version number. At that point, your client closes the connection w/o even sending your email, so the server doesn't even know who you are, so it can't spend a token for you.
Also, you should never have 25 lives....
