Reproduced for libgl1-mesa-glx:i386. Chris hypothesizes on IRC that it may be related to libgl1-mesa-glx having a Conflicts/Replaces/Provides libgl1, and apt not knowing the right way to handle that. Looking back, I see that linux-libc-dev has the same thing for virtual package "linux-kernel-headers". dpkg special-cases this kind of self-conflicts between multi-arch packages of different architectures; apt might need to as well.
