As I wrote in the bug I believe you're correct here, the test case is
not correct as written: this option is supposed to not touch the
bootloader configuration, and hence there is a chance it will result in
an unbootable system (if the kernel from the previous release is still
available I think the configuration will be bootable, but we can't rely
on that).
