Yes and No.

That was not the behaviour in the first releases, cannot remember when it started doing that but it was maybe an year after the first release.

Also that is not valid any longer, in some release (2.0.something) the feature was removed.

The reason I suggest doing it manually between each update is exactly the reason you can be sure your FS is clean before attempting the next update.
