Done, quite a few times (see my /var has 475M available).
I guess it is /lib that has insufficient space. Are there any official
requirements for a proper kernel update ? If not, I call this a bug.

With 33Mb in / there's really poor room to work, and a kernel install requires space for modules, around 50 for me.
du -sh /lib/modules/*
