The restart was a "deferred restart" so Burn tried to continue with the chain in case other things can also be installed and get all the restarts in one pass.
You need that restart to be considered a "force restart". Your BA can intervene in this case and return "force restart" when the MSU package needs a restart. It is a reasonable feature request to have the Burn Engine be able interpret restarts as forced restarts... but that feature does not exist yet.
