This started in image #11 for mako - there was an associated indicator-transfer landing

This is intentional behavior as per bug #1350771 ("Software updates listed as "Unknown Download", 0 bytes, with broken icon") where Design opines:

Since (A) is not practical for RTM and since (C) is impossible at this time as the icon and title metainfo is not available for these downloads, I opted for (B).

More specifically, anything that doesn't conduct its downloads through the content-hub is no longer displayed by the transfer indicator. This also solves other bugs similar to #1350771 e.g. bug #1350307

summary: - Indicator is completely empty and doesn't go green on tranfers
+ Indicator doesn't show app update downloads
