This looks remarkably like #640684. Are you sure this wasn't using an ancient cowbuilder/pbuilder (even in 2014) and wasn't running as root? Versions since wheezy (inclusive; 0.203 had the fix) have had a version with #640684 fixed (by not including libcowdancer in LD_PRELOAD when running the build itself as a non-root user), so unless this was using the version in squeeze (which would have been oldstable at the time?), I can't see how this would have happened.
