I've never tried using 'update based on selection' for a Character style but it strikes me as being a dodgy way to do things because the underlying paragraph style settings would confuse the system.

I would recommend you only modify Character styles via the more traditional Modify Style dialog.

Explicitly modifying a style in the Modify Style dialog box will often be better, in the sense that you get full control over the modifications made.

However, the Update <style name> to Match Selection command should be predictable. The command would only add content that was added as overrides (direct formatting) to the underlying style. This applies to both paragraph and character styles.
