I don't think drush up supports distributions (+ Kickstart v1 recommends moving modules from profiles/ to sites/all, which probably makes it even worse).

Let's ask them to confirm.

This is a known limitation of Drush, although I can't find a duplicate issue. #1325818: Generate an upgrade makefile from an existing makefile? is an alternative. #1431136: Updating OpenPublish 3-alpha3 site with drush 4.5 destroy data in profiles/openpublish directory. is related.

I decided to label this a 'bug' instead of a 'feature request', since Drush should at least reasonably detect when profiles are in use, and inform the user that pm-update won't work.

Well in an old OA (D6) I just upgraded to the most recent one without any issue. It seems to be a regression then, at first sight from D6 to D7.

I guess what we need, then, is for someone to take the time to test pm-update with a few different distributions on D6 and D7, and isolate what is working and what is not.

There is a discussion on this in the Drupal Commins issue queue where I also posted some information on my experience per ezra-g's request:

drush update error commons directory could not be found
