It has more to do with this:
--- cut here ---
pkgCache::VerIterator ver=pkg.CurrentVer();
if(action==cmdline_install)
ver=cmdline_find_ver(pkg, source, sourcestr);
// ...
switch(action)
{
case cmdline_installauto:
case cmdline_install:
case cmdline_reinstall:
if(action==cmdline_reinstall && pkg.CurrentVer().end())
break;
(*apt_cache_file)->set_candidate_version(ver, NULL);
(*apt_cache_file)->mark_install(pkg, allow_auto && aptcfg->FindB(PACKAGE
"::Auto-Install", true),
action == cmdline_reinstall, NULL);
--- cut here ---
The attached patch should fix it.
As a workaround, I think you should be able to get the effect you
want by listing the package later on the command-line with '&M'
appended, as in:
aptitude install fuse-utils/etch-backports libfuse2/etch-backports
"libfuse2&M"

Correctly handle install-and-mark-auto commands that are targeted at a particular version (e.g., "install foo/archive+M").
The version on the command-line was only being selected for an
"install" action; for "installauto" the code would set the candidate
version to be the current verison, with the result that nothing at all
would happen.
