The bug is in synaptic. I've investigated and confirmed that update-
manager simply calls synaptic eventually. I've also downloaded the
synaptic source (apt-get source synaptic), and compiled (./configure &&
make). The produced synaptic binary (gtk/synaptic) did not exhibit this
issue, but the debian-produced binary
(debian/synaptic/usr/sbin/synaptic) does.
Basically, any selections made using synaptic do not seem to be properly
installed. I can select, and then click the apply button, and then
screen displayed while installing should be shown flashes up very
briefly, before I'm returned back to the main synaptic window, with no
new packages being installed.
