I use this function to check for modified/missing/embedded links. It finds and shows such links.


 
var myDoc = app.activeDocument;
checkLinkNormal();

function checkLinkNormal(){
   for(var myCounter = 0; myCounter < myDoc.links.length; myCounter++){
   var myLink = myDoc.links[myCounter];
      if (myLink.status != LinkStatus.normal){
         if (myLink.status == LinkStatus.linkOutOfDate){
            myLink.show();
            alert ("This link is modified.");
            }
         else if (myLink.status == LinkStatus.linkMissing){
            myLink.show();
            alert("This link is modified.");
            }
         else if (myLink.status == LinkStatus.linkEmbedded){
            myLink.show();
            alert ("This link is embeded.");
         }
         exit();
      }
   }
}

If we use your approach, we just get an error that some link, someware in the document is missing:


 
var myDoc = app.activeDocument;
try {
   myDoc.links.everyItem().update();
}
catch(e) {
   err(e);
}
function err(e){
   alert(e);
   exit();
}
