Comment (by pento):

 Ah, I see what you're after.

 Is it an option to hook into `upgrader_process_complete` (which will run
 after the plugin is upgraded, but still in the process with the pre-
 upgraded code), and then have a `schema.php` file in your plugin that you
 can load, to apply the table updates immediately?

 Alternatively:

 - If it's a manual upgrade:
  - Set a flag in your plugin options to run the table upgrade process on
 the next page load.
 - If it's an auto upgrade:
  - Schedule a single cron event to run the upgrade process the next time
 cron is fired.
