Same. (Destiny)

On PS4 the major update goes through the PS4 (but still not in the background), and then when destiny is done launching, it downloads another ~400kb patch through the game that takes literally moments.

That is 100% exactly what my XBone (which has background downloads disabled) does. I'm not sure what Morpheus was talking about, TBH.

As for whether the big part of the update successfully downloads in the background when that's enabled.... I don't know. I turned that feature off within the first week of having the console.
