 The AJAX plugin update functionality is reporting a success and that it
 updated the plugin when in reality it did not. A refresh of the page shows
 it needs updating.

 Attempting to update using the traditional method by opening the AJAX link
 in a new tab shows it's failing due to file permissions (I don't have it
 writable):

 > Downloading update from https://downloads.wordpress.org/plugin/list-
 pages-shortcode.1.7.2.zip…
 >
 > Unpacking the update…
 >
 > Installing the latest version…
 >
 > Removing the old version of the plugin…
 >
 > Could not remove the old plugin.
 >
 > Plugin update failed.
 >
 > Return to Plugins page
