This is not a comment on the reported bug (not quoted here), but a note about usage. It is not ideal to include authentication credentials in sources.list. Those files should be world readable (or atleast readable by all apt-cache and aptitude users). There is a poorly documented option to use /etc/apt/auth.conf, which is formatted like netrc(5). Credentials should be placed in this file, with sources.list just containing the $MIRROR part.
