Please send a patch for this if it's stable. Note that multiple widgets
can be shown at once; are you displaying help only on mouseover, or
something like that?

Unless I'm much mistaken, this can only happen if the debconf *client*
(i.e. netcfg) calls "PROGRESS SET" before "PROGRESS START". I don't see
any code that could do that, though.

Looks like a type mismatch maybe, but everything seems to be plain 'int'
as it should be. Try running with DEBCONF_DEBUG=5 to trace the debconf
protocol.
