your test is wrong.
the updateprogress control is designed to run during an async (ajax) postback. the postback is returning right away with a redirect commend. the ajax code receives this, and sets the document.location to the new url (to do the redirect).
at this point all bets are off, the browser is now navigating to a new page (that takes 5 seconds to respond). during navigation many browsers will stop the background thread that runs animated gifs, may ignore dom updates, etc. there is no defined behavior during this phase.
if you are doing this on your local box, the redirect response may come before the progress bar even has chance to start.

Hi All,.
Depending on the browser used (all latest versions), I am
experiencing various degrees of failure in showing processing
progress with a simple AJAX wait while loading" asp.net app.
The app has two pages: Default.aspx (showing the progress)
and a Process.aspx sleepy page doing some processing.
Results (Vista SP2 & XP SP3):
--IE8: works correctly only if DynamicLayout="False"
--Safari4: works fine
--Firefox3.5.3: spinning gif starts spinning then stops
--Chrome3.0.195.27: works fine
--Opera10: Fails miserably, no progresstemplate is shown at all
I have been testing about a dozen similar projects from the
web with the same results. I would be very pleased is someone
could tell me what I am doing wrong.
Thanks,
Jacques
