8.1 App Store app updates badge bug

The update tracking mechanism in 8.x seems to have had some issues from the start.

I've seen updated apps that don't immediately "update" their status, and make it appear as if they haven't been updated. I've had to do a double take a couple times and think "didn't I just sync and update?"

After the update procedure, the affected apps have their buttons change to Open, but don't move from the Available Updates portion of the list to the Updated (Date) part of the list, and the badge remains lit, which is annoying, since their are no apps to update.

I generally try to update via iTunes instead of OTA, but when I've done the latter, and backed up the new version via iTunes, I want it cleared from all lists. I don't care that I updated that app [whatever indeterminate time period they choose] ago. I've had one stuck on my iPad for two weeks, but I've seen others disappear by themselves in a few days. No rhyme or reason to any of it.

 

I'm encountering a similar issue... if I download updates in iTunes and sync, the devices (iPad and iPhone) will usually still show a badge with a number on the App Store icon, indicating updates are available, but when I go into the App Store, everything's already been updated.
