Description
I have found the following bug that affects for sure wordpress 3.8.2 and the latest 3.8.3.
I have noticed this bug when I changed my domain settings:
WordPress Address (URL) and Site Address (URL) from a domain say www.mydomain.org to www.mydomain.com.
In the admin panel, when I get notified of new updates to be installed, installation of wordprewss, plugins and themes seems successful but is not performed.
After a bit of banging my head on the problem, for curiosity decided to switch back to www.mydomain.org and all updates were installed!
It's a bit annoying doing this procedure for every new updates.
Can anybody reproduce this?

It's not very clear what you're meaning or highlighting in the ticket.
To be very honest though, WordPress isn't really designed to allow to change the site and WP URLs. There admittedly is UI (and even two defines) to do so but, frankly, changing either or both have been a can of worms for as long as I can remember. Key problems:
And don't even get me started on multisite-related problems, WP in its subfolder-related problems, and yada yada.
Below is a quick and dirty script I recently used to migrate a client's site from using www3 to www, to give you an idea of the kind of mess it can be. And it only began to scratch the surface, as I didn't want to clean up the other tables.
