Comment (by jgehrcke):

 Thanks for providing some background info to an ignorant user :-). Okay,
 so I have added the following code to my theme's functions.php:

 {{{
 --- a/functions.php     Mon Mar 24 17:59:47 2014 +0100
 +++ b/functions.php     Tue Apr 15 14:19:08 2014 +0200
 @@ -1,4 +1,12 @@
  <?php
 +// Enable automatic update even if .hg or other VCS is detected.
 +// http://make.wordpress.org/core/2013/10/25/the-definitive-guide-to-
 disabling-auto-updates-in-wordpress-3-7/
 +function update_anyway($checkout, $context) {
 +    return false;
 +}
 +add_filter('automatic_updates_is_vcs_checkout', 'update_anyway', 10, 2);
 }}}

 Correspondingly, the update check plugin now states:

 {{{
 INFO: The folder / was detected as being under version control (.hg), but
 the automatic_updates_is_vcs_checkout filter is allowing updates.
 }}}

 Is there a way to trigger the automatic update, or do I have to wait for
 WP cron to perform it?

 You wrote

 {{{
 [...] since that's the default and it would only be specified if someone
 really wanted it.
 }}}

 Should that have been "since that's **not** the default"? In that case, I
 agree that setting WP_AUTO_UPDATE_CORE to 'minor' should either perform
 the backup **or** be verbose about the update progress/errors. Silently
 deactivation should not happen.

 Thanks for consideration!
