"693910-4 3-Major Traffic Interruption for MAC Addresses Learned on Interfaces that Enter Blocked STP State (2000/4000/i2800/i4800 series)"

 

This only known issue I found for your version and hardware, in the release notes. May not match your problem, but you ask generically about known issues.

 

Today I've tried it again:

first I upgraded the backup-device, it worked !?

then the primary: after 25 minutes, the Browser-Connection was lost, with the CLI said:

[root@localhost:FW Update Do Not Interrupt - Checking LCD:] config 

after a while:

I have had issues like this before. Have a look at the following:
