1) Launch setup-x86_64 and go as far as the "Pending" list (assuming

Now it says there is nothing pending.
4) Click back (mirror selection) and re-select the same or a different
mirror and click "Next"
Still nothing pending, "Best" is still selected.
5) Select "Sync" instead of "Best"
All the pending packages reappear. Switching from "Sync" back to "Best"
does not affect the display at this point.
Well, it does because these are two different things, but in most usual
circumstances they select the same set of packages.
(I think e.g. if you've previously installed a test version, they will
give different results)
If you initially have "Sync" selected, then switching to "Best" reveals
the missing pending items. I.e. restoring the list seems to be
"edge-triggered" on the "Keep/Best/Sync" state.
Yes, this is almost certainly not implemented correctly.
Unfortunately, this is complex, because of interactions with how we
apply packages and selection modes selected via the command line. It's
not clear at all to me what should happen here when those exist and
you've then modified them in the chooser and then go back and forward.
At the moment, the back button is always enabled, I think. There's
probably some points in the flow where we shouldn't allow that.
