In the end, this was caused by a lack of space on the Tails partition.
The update process takes a lot of space on the partition while
decompressing everything several times. It ends up using around 3 times
the size of the IUK itself. So having another file of 80M on the
partition was enough to make it crash at some random point.

It was a bit silly from me to have this random file laying around, but
I'm glad we spotted a bug that would have shown up anyway (legitimately
or not) at some point.

intrigeri told me there were many layers of abstraction, and in the end
I could find the file with another name. At the end of the process it's
renamed as expected.
