Comment (by dd32):

 The way that Release confirmations work is that it aborts the plugin
 parsing early, for safety. So the way it's currently working is "per
 design" although it's not ideal at all and deserves changing.

 Assets being parsed as part of the plugin release process is kind of a
 vestige of all plugin assets belonging within a plugins tagged releases,
 rather than being part of `/assets/`.

 It would be ideal to split the asset parsing out from the plugin parsing,
 and always run the asset parse. That would allow for blueprints to be
 imported, screenshots/banner updates, and potentially we could also look
 at running readme.txt updates as part of that.
