Reopen. Three times in the last two days apport complains about the need to install missing packages, well again, the reason for calling update-manager was in fact to install updates. 
After calling update-manager, it says there is a 'problem with a system application' (whatever that's supposed to be) do you want to report it, yes, authentication request, collect info, request to install python-dbus, no report.
As the screenshot tells python-dbus in fact isn't marked for upgrade.

Observed this behaviour of apport only occurs when update-manager is
called via session-menu. The crash never happens when update-manager is
called through other options or by updating via terminal.

Since crash files are all from aptd wondering if the culprit is aptd
itself or some early apport hook.

Title:
  apport invokes too early

Status in “apport” package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  Happens daily on first upgrade attempt with update-manager.
  Doesn't happen on further attempts.
  Open update-manager via dash. Reload package cache.
  Result: 'There is a system application having problems, do you want to report it'. - Yes
  Apport collects it's data, then says 'the problem can't be reported you have outdated packages, you need to update <package> this and that.' (screenshot)

  @Apport, I know, that's the reason why update-manager was opened in the first place.
  The upgrade can be proceeded as usual.

  Expected:
  Let update-manager do it's job first before complaining about missing packages.
