Yes, it's an odd coincidence, but they happen. And I concur that what you're describing sounds exactly like a hardware failure--most likely hard drive--not something caused by the update.
Did you try running Disk Utility from the Leopard install disc and see if it shows the drive's SMART status as failing? If it does, then it's unquestionably a hardware issue.
On the topic of coincidences, if you don't often restart your Mac the reboot due to an OS update can expose problems you hadn't noticed previously. Could also just be really bad luck.
