Thank you for your bug report. What you describe is a bug, we don't have that behaviour/dialog enabled by default. Do you have any non standard packagekit packages/configuration on your installation? Does it leads to any problem or just to UI confusion? (I saw dialog a few times during the bionic cycle but checking the box didn't seem to do anything)

Unattended-upgrades can be configured to perform upgrades during system shutdown. Gnome Software in Bionic started offering performing upgrades during shutdown using PackageKit independently from update-manager and unattended-upgrades without offering all of the features of either one. Unless there is a decision to fully switch to Gnome Software I suggest disabling the "Install pending software updates" on the shutdown screen to avoid confusing users.
