In fact, Auto-Install=false is set in _all_ my .aptitude/config files on _all_ my unstable systems which I am pretty sure I didn't manually do, at least not in the last few days. Commenting out the line setting it to false fixes the problem for me. Do you have any idea how this could have been set on all my systems just recently? I am including the .aptitude/config file from the test chroot for completness.
