Moshe, I appreciate the suggestion and agree that using $form['#submit'] would 
be a cleaner way to do it.  However it doesn't work.  Because the various 
complexities of update.php and the FAPI align in such a way that update.php 
does not call drupal_get_form after the form is submitted.  Therefore the 
normal form processing does not happen upon submit.

Also, just FYI, $form['#submit'] is not documented in either the fapi or 
quickstart guides for 4.7.  (Elements that have a '#submit' attribute are, 
but not the '#submit' that applies to form).
