Hi, I've reported a duplicate bug of this and I'm not an Ubuntu developer but I'm studying Software Engineering and I think that it might be implemented in this way (only an idea):

The animation starts after the authentication dialog in every case, in the Unity side (I think) there will be a boolean variable like "isCompleted" that if the download and installation finishes without errors Software Center sets to true and keeps the icon in the launcher, so if in the meantime of the process there are closures of USC or another type of errors Unity will remove it because isCompleted is false.

That's only my idea, I don't know how are structured Unity or USC so sorry for conceptual errors.
