Comment (by afragen):

 @tlloancy I consider this a success and exactly what’s supposed to happen.

 I will tell you that if you have WP_DEBUG set to `true` you will see more
 in your debug.log.

 I have seen seemingly silent PHP Fatals in the log, probably caused by
 some script trying to access pages and functions directly. If these occur
 during the auto-update process the PHP Fatal can stop any running process
 and the update will fail.

 All this to say, if auto-update is left alone it is likely to succeed
 either on the first or second attempt.
