"You need to install this app before you can review it" persists after installation

Bug Description

Binary package hint: software-center

str:
1- go to an app in the software centre (i used radio-tray)
2- click install, authenticate, wait for this to complete
3- (optionally) launch the application and play with it

what should happen:
 - i can enter comments about the application in the software centre
what does happen:
 - it still says "you need to install this application" etc

The problem seems to be that the reviews section ought to reload or update after installation but it does not. The inverse problem appears after deinstallation (ie you can still review it.)

(Separately, it might be reasonable to let people review software they previously tried and then deinstalled: Android Market does that for example.)

I'm marking this as a duplicate of bug #761261 which was closed last week.
When I went to fix that bug, I found that in one of the subsequent software-center updates, the bug was already fixed.

Could you please confirm what version of software-center you are using and upgrade to the latest version from the archives to confirm that the issue is no longer present? If it is still present, please add comments to the other bug report to confirm actions we need to take to reproduce it, and we can look into the problem.
Thanks
