Getting exactly this same behavior - including the Kernel update problem
in the bug report.

Message I was about to send, but you beat me to it:

I ran up2date on a clean Test 2 install. There's like 100 updates, so i
try to take them 10 or so at a time.
After downloading, it goes to install, but in some cases, it'll skip one
of the downloaded updates - leaving the progress bar (bottom one) some
distance from the end and yet it stops and enables the FINISH button.
Which i click. Then run it again.
Second time around, one of the updates i just downloaded is still
available for download. So i select it again to give it another shot,
but it never gets removed from the AVAILABLE list.
