Why do you want the GUI installer if you're doing an upgrade?  Does it
actually support upgrades?

I can't reproduce that, at least with the version I have installed.

No shame in that!  I could only search for documentation on the
exception.

It's possible that running with the undocumented -debug flag or
comparing the output of
  java -verbose -jar ./util/gui-installer/installer.jar

There's essentially no difference between them, so I've no idea why they
should behave differently

I assume you're at least using the same environment in each case.
