That apt-cache policy line shows your ubuntu-system-settings is out of
date. The main fixes for this bug are actually in system-image-dbus and
ubuntu-download-manager, FWIW. But they all got upgraded in the same
image so they will be out of date too.

I think you want image #213 which has the newer packages. (AFAICT, I'm
not very good at mapping dates to image numbers. This one:

Also, I didn't try this exact reproduction recipe but I believe it's the
same thing. See if you can make it happen with a new image, please.
