Have 2.7-RC1-10041 installed.
1.  Did Plugins-Add New, used Author 'scribu' search and saw six plugins. 
Installed 'Deviant Thumbs 1.7.4 and activated it.
2.  Did Plugins-Installed and deactived Deviant Thumbs, then did Edit on 
that Plugin, and changed version to 1.7.2.
3.  Visited Plugins-Installed and it showed message, "There is a new version 
of Deviant Thumbs available. View version 1.7.4".  Did the 'upgrade 
automatically' thing and it executed the upgrade successfully.

>> Also, the search by name in the Plugin Installer is useless.

A Plugin search on the term 'deviant' returned three plugins, including 
Deviant Thumbs.  But, I don't have a search by name--just term, author, and 
tag.
