Preupgrade should, preupgrade itself is the tool that prepares the
system for an upgrade. But preupgrade should prepare a system that
performs an unattended upgrade. From what I can tell, all indications
are that was what was happening, and then the system was rebooted.

Maybe. However, it seems to me that the update of 420 packages should
not take so long. That's why I turned off the box.
Again, just my best guesses based on your logs. The best way to find
out is to actively monitor the upgrade process first-hand.
Unfortunately, on my laptop virtualization is not working too fast,
so
it'll not check whether preupgrade actually works well. But maybe
someone else will find the time to check.
Thanks for your analysis.
Anytime, thanks for sharing your experiences and logs!
Thanks,
