Derek,
If I may be so bold, I'd like to suggest you load and keep one of the PCs you are building for charity. I also did this type of thing several years ago. I donated to a local Christian School and also to kids that would otherwise not be able to have one in home. Having a "reference PC" that you have worked out any problems on is a very useful tool.
My second comment would be in the form of a question. Why are you, or the recipients of the PCs, rebooting or shutting down so quickly after launching a system update? A reboot is not required in most cases of updates. You did note in your post that you are seeing an end of update indicator when running via GUI. Maybe some brief instruction to the recipients of the PC regarding looking for the end of update is in order? Just a thought.
If you are unable to find a suitable solution using basic, conventional means, try looking into the tweaked Mint Update Manager that Ralphy has provided us.
