I couldn't say, but I'm curious.  I know there is experimentation
going on there, but I'm not aware of a final design choice.

Auto-starting any activity or control panel is also against the design
intent.  I really don't want this to happen.  If we think it's
absolutely necessary to push G1G1s into an update, then we should have
an alert (non-modal, perhaps) that appears on first boot instead,
which offers to take them directly into software update.  Failing to
present the Home screen (and a new one, at that) as Home is a bad
idea.
