Plan is; I'm looking at this bug but it's still not obvious to me what the source of the issue is. The end result is that some applications will display broken text for a part of the upgrade procedure; but the exact package causing this I'm not sure of yet.

We can certainly release note that such an issue can happen. Erick; would you mind clarifying exactly which button you press on the dialog so that we can figure out how it affects the upgrade procedure? It should be the bottom one, right?

As for release note text; what does this look like (until the issue can be fixed):

"""
Users upgrading from previous releases may notice that newly started applications during the upgrade procedure may display broken text, observable as "squares" instead of the text meant to be displayed. A dialog may popup interrupting the upgrade procedure; it should read "[insert actual dialog text]". Users wishing to continue the upgrade should press the [bottom/top] button. This issue is only affecting the current session while the upgrade is being executed; and should no longer appear after rebooting the system once the upgrade is completed. This is being investigated as bug 1038573.
