Comment (by galbaras):

 I've just had this with an admin JavaScript file unrelated to language
 translation in Contact Form 7. A subsequent update succeeded without a
 hitch and without making any changes in-between, ruling out environmental
 issues, like permissions.

 Could this be related to timing?

 Either way, WordPress is not listing the update, despite the failure,
 possibly because the main file contains the latest version, which is
 insufficient proof, unfortunately.

 When an update failure occurs, WordPress should either roll back to the
 previous version or, at least, keep the outstanding update signals active
 until it is applied to completion.
