GUI Dist Upgrade hangs on pkg configs which use whiptail

I used the GUI Distribution Upgrade method to upgrade from 11.10 to 12.04 (mythbuntu). When upgrading packages which use whiptail to display a configuration window (mysql-server-5.5, libc6), the whiptail text window displays in the Terminal area of the Dist Upgrade window, but I don't find any way to enter anything into that window, so the upgrade process pauses and simply waits for whiptail to complete, essentially hanging.
When I kill the corresponding whiptail process(es), the upgrade resumes, although related package configurations are incomplete. I plan on doing "dpkg --configure -a" to clean things up once the upgrade finishes, which I think will set things right.
Am I missing something, like some way to reply to the whiptail configuration prompts when doing a GUI upgrade? Or is this a bug that should be reported? I don't see anything in launchpad or forums regarding this.
