You can check the status that is given in the header when this page is
served by running "wget -S ...". If the status is "HTTP/1.1 200 OK" then
it is not too surprising that apt thinks it has received a valid file.

Maybe your administrator is willing to change the filtering setup such
that it serves the notification page with an error status, for example
"403 Forbidden"; that might be enough to make apt ignore the file.
