When mixing Roll up task info branch with a "normal" progress icon (that is not marked for roll up) at the same level, they do not sum up correctly at the level above (difficult to explain in writing).
Or: how does Roll up task info calculate. Does it only calculates rolled up task branches?
Conclusion: Roll up is difficult to use. Manual setting is better/controlable.

The test I did seems correct here. The rolled up percent complete is the total number of hours worked divided by the total number of hours duration, as a percentage. It does not simply add up the percent complete figures. The calculation is based on non-rollup branches only, as rollup branches are not real tasks. It is also rounded down to the nearest of the fixed values (0%, 10%, 25% etc.)

Three different scenarios with different result:
I can understand that it will be different result, but the handling of the progress icon makes it difficult to use, in my opinion.
And this one:
It ́s easy to forget to put a progress on XX-Action 2.
