Thanks for your bugreport.

update-manager is indeed not very smart about unauthenticated packages. In a ideal world everything would be authenticated. The fact that PPAs are not is unfortunate.

A partial upgrade is always triggered if update-manager can not perform a upgrade without removing packages. The partial upgrade has some safe guards build in to prevent bad things from happening (it will ensure that certain packages like the kernel, nvidia-glx etc) get not removed.
