Yes, this is obvious that it locks. That works correctly.

What I'd say this is is not so much a bug report, rather, a feature
request - in my opinion, if you select download and upgrade security
packages automatically, or just download automatically, update-manager
should handle things more gracefully, i.e.:

1) either display a notification about updates AFTER they've downloaded (and 
hence, the lock is gone and it's possible to upgrade)
2) or, display a notification saying "packages downloading..." (if using the 
old, notification icon method, upon hoover over the icon) or making the 
update-manager greyed out (if using the new, automatic show of update-manager, 
introduced in 9.10 or so).

This way the user would not experience the error message, which might be
confusing at first, if someone does not understand packaging correctly -
and frankly, these are the areas where automatic downloads are usually
set up, at least from my experience ;)
