Running zypper automatically inside screen would add an additional level of protection. And that's a new feature which has to be requested against openSUSE Tumbleweed and component libzypp.
But the OP did not use zypper. He used the desktop update applet. The issue would be avoiding the desktop to crash, but perhaps postpone the actual update till an automatic graphic system restart. A new update paradigm. :-)
The actual update happens in background, performed by packagekit daemon. At least I just had experienced the same and although I was kicked out of GUI session, the installation seems to continue. I could not find how can I query packagekit backend for current operations, at least before disk activity stopped :) So it appears to provide the same level of protection as zypper in screen. Except when packagekit itself is restarted :p
