Just by accident I found out that it's an incompatibility between the updated versions of a couple Perl modules and Movable Type. The server is set to automatically update CPanel and related software, and it looks like that pulled the new Perl modules in, and that has caused the errors you've been getting.
I've found a solution on the MT forums and will be implementing it when I get home in a couple of hours. I'll have to see if I can restrain CPanel from updating those modules again.
Work-around in the meantime: Just keep trying. The 500 errors are more-or-less random, so unless it really hates you it will eventually work.
