I can reproduce this bug. We have an internal deb repo, and I don't have the 
pub key. 
I tried 

sudo apt-get -o Apt::Get::AllowUnauthenticated=true update
sudo apt-get -o Apt::Get::AllowUnauthenticated=1 update
sudo apt-get --allow-unauthenticated=true update
sudo apt-get --allow-unauthenticated=1 update

and the result was apt-get complaining:

W: GPG error: http://[local repo] Release: The following signatures
couldn't be verified because the public key is not available: NO_PUBKEY
[KEY]

Info: 
 - kernel 2.6.35-22-generic #34-Ubuntu SMP Sun Oct 10 09:24:00 UTC 2010 i686 
GNU/Linux
 - apt version: apt 0.8.3ubuntu7 for i386 compiled on Oct  5 2010 14:07:36


** Changed in: apt (Ubuntu)
       Status: Invalid => Confirmed
