If you use update-manager to install updates, there is a remaining issue with aptdaemon causing all updates to be marked as manually installed, preventing apt's autoremoval from doing the right thing. (This may be fixed now in raring, I'm not sure and don't have the bug number in front of me; see the bug list for the aptdaemon package to confirm.)

This should never happen, and would be an entirely separate bug. The kernel *update* may fail, but the old, successfully installed kernel would still be available and should be the default in the bootloader configuration.
