Comment (by catalyst):

 We probably should scope this a bit better.  I think there are two
 categories of "previous phase reports progress on starting the following
 phase":

 1. reporting our best guess as to what the next asynchronous progress will
 occur next that's been unblocked by what just happened
 2. reporting progress of the next phase when we're about to call into code
 that almost certainly begins the phase we're reporting that we're starting

 (1) is more important to fix, and #27167 fixes some of them.
 (2) is less important to fix, because the distinction is only important to
 someone who's familiar with the code.  In these cases, it's very unlikely
 that progress will be interrupted or blocked before the actual work begins
 on the next phase.
