Comment (by kraftbj):

 I tried to duplicate
 https://core.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/29820#comment:64 (Background
 Updates causes failure).

 My first method:
 Two browser windows, both on plugins.php.
 Update in one to simulate a background update.
 Attempted to upgrade in the original.
 The original returned Success. No indication that it was already upgraded,
 but no "problem" either.

 Second:
 Left a window open a long time on plugins.php
 Clicked Update Now
 Nothing changed at all on the line item, but admin-ajax.php was hit with
 the update command, returned with success:true.

 Before and after looks like: https://cloudup.com/c3cArkap-Y4
 admin-ajax.php was pinged with
 {{{
 data: {update: "plugin", plugin: "always-use-jetpack-open-graph/always-
 use-jetpack-open-graph.php",…}
 plugin: "always-use-jetpack-open-graph/always-use-jetpack-open-graph.php"
 slug: "always-use-jetpack-open-graph"
 update: "plugin"
 }}}
 response: `success: true`
