Comment(by dd32):

 for some background thoughts on the plugin bulk upgrade see this ticket:
 #8589

 I'd like to bring up a slight issue with the bulk plugin upgrade however,
 It works well, plugins get upgraded OK. But theres a problem with re-
 activation.

 All the re-activation iframes load at once, Before plugins are upgraded,
 they're deactivated, All the iframes load with
 get_option('active_plugins') == active_plugins - upgrade_plugins.

 Once the iframes finish loading, they update 'active_plugins' to include
 the plugin being tested.

 The issue is, That, The data the pages are saving, are potentially stale
 as another thread may have modified it.. I couldnt understand why a few
 plugins were deactivated on my blog.. But this thought just hit me, and it
 would certainly make sense..

 I've not verified this, But i'm pretty certain it's occurring.
