The manual update does update the "downloaded.ini" file, but instead of
updating the "ReleaseDate=" line it adds the "UpdateDate=" line, so the
program display isn't changed.
Now that I think about it, I believe the "UpdateDate=" line is the
manual update's equivalent to the internal/auto update's "InstallDate="
line and will show the actual date it's applied and not when it was
released.
At any rate, either way, it's a known issue and to be corrected in a
later release.
