Thank you Sebastian for looking into this and confirming the bug.
I've added a screenshot nonetheless for people who currently don't have
updates in their queue so they can see what it looks like.
and for completeness, the output of the commands are:
- dpkg -l | grep gnome-software

amd64 Software Center for GNOME
ii gnome-software-common 3.30.2-0ubuntu2
all Software Center for GNOME (common files)
ii gnome-software-plugin-snap 3.30.2-0ubuntu2

/usr/bin/gnome-software

Title:
Gnome-software - unable to update software - Button Restart & Update,
restarts no updates applied
Status in gnome-software package in Ubuntu:
Confirmed
Bug description:
Ubuntu 18.10 beta (up to date as of 12-10-2018)
Ubuntu software 3.30.2
DESCRIPTION OF BEHAVIOUR
When updates are available, Ubuntu-Software shows updates are available in
the "Updates" tab.
One of the updates available shows "OS Updates"
The grey coloured heading right above the available updates, has
"Requires Restart" on the left and a green button "Restart & Update".
When the green button is clicked, a popup window appears immediately
showing "Restart, the system will restart automatically in 60 seconds"
counting down. The restart can be cancelled or activated.
When activated (either automatically or manually) the computer
restarts immediately and no software is being updated.
After logging in and starting up Ubuntu Software, the Updates tab
checks and then shows the same updates being available as before.
---
The button on the Updates tab should rather offer to update all available
software and only offer to restart the computer after the updates are completed.
