I went to Help>Installation Information and selected 2 features, and chose Uninstall.

It "calculated" and presented me with the Uninstall dialog and Finish was enabled.

I said go and it said "restart, apply now" and I restarted.

I went back to the Installation Information and the features are still listed.  Uninstall appears to offer the Uninstall dialog but doesn't so anything, and the Revert... button also does nothing.

Are you able to attach your specific feature and list the steps that you used to install them? Thanks.

I just tried a simple uninstall (releng tools) on Build id: N20090107-2000 and it worked as expected, so we will definitely need some specific steps to reproduce this.

I'm thinking that the problem encountered here is the one where what is being uninstalled is used by something that stays installed (e.g. uninstalling EMF when you have GMF).

I'll create a specific usecase tomorrow (so you won't have to guess :-)

Yes, it sounds similar to bug 255984 which I'm working on right now.
