With the announcement of yet another Rogue Trader book, and another Death Watch book, let's hope we get a DH book soon. Even a reprint of the rules.
I don't think they've reprinted it yet with the Errata. Someone correct me if I am wrong, but I am going to answer the Op's question with a No.
Nop, only 1.0 errata. I'm going to purchase the Dark Heresy Core (plus Blood of Martyrs) next week, so I've been asking the same question.
Some things have been updated in the books though.
Take the Omnissian Axe. In my Black Industries soft-cover copy of this book it has a damage output of 2d5+5. In my FFG PDF it is 2d10+5. Granted, it's not from the errata, but it shows that some updates do get into new printings.
BYE
I don't understand why FFG isn't updating their PDF's at least. This would make the PDF's attractive even for people who already own the print version.
There maybe not enough space in the layout to include the longer errata entries but these could be added as an additional page at the end and it shouldn't be much work to update some tables. I do this all the time between my regular work, when a customer wants some last minute changes and it took me only 10 minutes max..

The labor of adding the corrections doesn't take long, everything else does.
As with any company that produces a licensed product, any alteration, no matter how small, must be approved by the owner. So it might take a FFG employee an hour to integrate the errata. Then they have to check it in house, then hand it over to their license manager, who then has to spend time sending the new version to GW and explaining what has changed, then a GW employee must spend several hours going over all the changes and making sure everything is still good, it probably has to take a trip to the legal department, then it can be sent back to FFG, then they have to resend it to the people distributing the PDF, then they have to spend the time to do their in house check to make sure it can be put up on the web site, then they have to update the web site.
That, at the minimum, is several weeks or more of time. No matter how much customers think "It would only take me X amount of time to do" that's just not how businesses work.
