Thanks. So there is an MU05 update:

www.crucial.com/wcsstore/CrucialSAS/firmware/M500/MU05/crucial-m500-iso-firmware-update-mu05-en.pdf

Which according to its changelog features:
"Improved drive latency performance in applications with SMART polling"

Which is not relevant to the LPM issues you are seeing, but seems relevant to
the other issues you are seeing.

Unfortunately the MU05 update does not seem to specifically address any
LPM issues, so I'm just going to do the blacklist for all 480GB+ models
for now (my experience with other Crucial models is that smaller variants
seem to not suffer from LPM issues).

Regards,

Hans
