It sounds like aptitude is told to start installing packages right away and barfs because there isn't anything to install (because of the priority bug). It would be nice to handle this situation more gracefully, but as I understand things it should not occur once this bug is fixed. A fix is sitting in testing-proposed-updates now and I'm in the process of uploading a better fix (it turned out the first fix didn't eliminate all the bugs).
