I was right. The code does print("Continue? [yN] ", end="") and then sys.stdin.readline() with no flush in between.
Here's a suggested patch for trusty's update-release-upgrader. I haven't tested it (since I already upgraded my 14.04 to 14.10). It also needs to be forward-ported to later versions so this bug won't regress.

I think this kind of UI glitch merits a SRU.
