The downloads do happen via download manager. They just don't appear in the transfers indicator. I'm not entirely sure why.
However, the updates page must be opened for the update to be installed, as the installation there is done in the app itself, after the download manager finishes the download and signals the app it is done. If the app is closed, nothing is listening for the signal, and sow the install won't happen. I agree the installs should happen in the background even with the app closed. I'm not sure if there is a bug reported or not, but it should be if not.
