apt-offline updates only the list of existing packages (cf. eg.
/var/lib/apt/lists) and the specific packages asked for with
"--install".

apt-get upgrade probably tries to get the packages themselves which it
knows from the package list but which apt-offline did not take.
It seems apt-offline has a specific option for full upgrades.
>From the man page :
--upgrade Generate APT Database signature for package upgrade. This is
the equivalent of using apt-get upgrade
So for upgrades potentially doing something like the following could
work :
isolated$ apt-offline set --update ...
networked$ apt-offline get ...
isolated$ apt-offline install
isolated$ apt-offline set --upgrade ...
networked$ apt-offline get ...
isolated$ apt-offline install ...
isolated$ apt-get upgrade
