I don't know what's different, but in general you for example can't
backup a complete Linux, while it's running, a way to do it anyway, is
to make a snapshot first and to backup the snapshot
during the upgrade,
which can result in an inaccessible system that is only half-upgraded. Use of
the GNOME application update-manager is strongly discouraged for upgrades to
new releases, as this tool relies on the desktop session remaining active. |

One imagines killing X during an upgrade is avoided by not restarting
gdm (for example). Looking at the postinst, postrm and prerm files and
what is run in debian/rules is very likely to reduce your wondering.

I have no idea what Ubuntu can or can not do[1], but I can assure you it
is safer not to do it from within an X session. Besides, do you know how

The warning explicitly applies to remote upgrades, and refers to 'an X
session *managed*... on the machine you are upgrading, implying that
you will be operating X from a different machine
