After each update the schema version in the system table is updated as 
well. So if the update selection page is regenerated after a half-update 
it will be okay. Maybe not perfect, since the browser may cache the 
previous form values if you use the back button, but certainly improved 
in 4.7.

It didn't happen in 4.6 so we can go without it for 4.7. Its not really 
a huge issue until you get into shared tables, where the same table 
would be updated twice by two sites.
