Public bug reported:

So, testing latest image 34, I decided to try installing some click
apps.

I started with a very simple webapp (18k download size), and this worked
reasonably well. Then I tried installing SleepyTime, which is a few MBs
to download. During the download, I accidentally swiped left (eg, to see
the previous app, not an edge swipe). When I swiped back to SleepyTime,
the download had frozen. After some seconds, the progress meter reverted
to an 'Install' button, which was unresponsive.

Then I thought I'd reboot to get things into a fresh state, tried to
install SleepyTime again, but this time I thought "ok! I won't touch
anything, so it can install uninterrupted!" and of course, then the
screen locked while the app was downloading. When I unlocked the screen,
the app detail screen was gone and I was looking at the app grid. When I
clicked on SleepyTime again, the download meter was gone and there was
the 'Install' button again. When I clicked on the install button, it
turned into a progress meter, stayed at 0% for about 10 seconds, and
then reverted to an Install button again.

So basically, it seems that in order to install an app, I have to very
carefully poke at the screen in order to keep it awake, without
accidentally navigating away from the download screen. Leaving it alone,
navigating away, etc all cause downloads to fail, and once a download
has failed, all future downloads can't even start.
