This is not without reminding me of this years old bug on launchpad (with hundreds of duplicates) that we never clearly understood: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/dpkg/+bug/545790 I don't know if they are related but if that's the case, then it's good to finally have a way to reproduce it more reliably.
