Brian, On Dec 3rd I installed from xenial-proposed version 1.1ubuntu1.18.04.7~16.04.0. On Dec 4th unattended-upgrades installed new kernel and rebooted, as it should. Today, Dec 5 unattended-upgrades removed old kernels, which it should do, and then rebooted which it shouldn't do. I have attached unattended-upgrades.log for the relevant days.
On a side note unattended-upgrades emailed me after it installed the new kernel on Dec 4th, as it should, but did not email me after removing old kernels on Dec 5th. It should have. Let me know if I can provide any other information or do any further testing. My system is Ubuntu 16.04.5 LTS server.

Perform a kernel upgrade normally via "apt-get dist-upgrade". 2. Reboot. 3. Run "apt-get autoremove" to delete the old kernel packages. 4. "System Notification Helper" now reports that the computer requires a reboot. The "autoremove" operation shouldn't require a reboot, logically speaking, because it's just removing files that are unused by the OS.
