Copying my notes on this into the bug.

When dpkg runs it'll set the reboot-required when a package needs to reboot. And then when it completes running it'll touch:

/var/lib/update-notifier/dpkg-run-stamp

If the timestamp on this file is newer than reboot-required or it is touched, only then should the session icon color change to red.
