This does sound like a genuine bug and something we need to fix. You do sound like you're on the right track with it. Adding a workaround patch to dpkg-native only would be one way to move forward but fixing it properly as you describe is much more desirable if upstream will take such a patch. I appreciate you taking the time to do that! The lack of response isn't lack of interest but partly the holidays and partly that you're on the right check so replies would mainly be "yes, sounds good" which people tend not to post against everything they agree with.
