Would such an update increment the version number? I suspect you'd
want to be able to easily determine if an update has been applied, and
having to distinguish e.g. "Firefox 30 without update 1" vs. "Firefox
30 with update 1" could be annoying (and makes me think of Windows
service packs).

It wouldn't update all of the places where version numbers are stored
today since that would break incremental updates but there is no reason
that the places in the UI couldn't read in this information and show it
in the UI and thereby avoid breaking incremental updates.
