I'm seeing something similar in Maverick as well. Furthermore, when running in a VM (VirtualBox) not only does the VM itself become extremely sluggish, it also pegs one of the CPU cores on the host. To add insult to injury, it does not ignore host filesystems which have been mounted into the VirtualBox guest VM (type vboxsf); in my case, this caused updatedb.mlocate to attempt to index several hundred thousand files across multiple network file servers! Filesystem type vboxsf should probably be added to the list of ignored types in the default version of updatedb.conf...
