Yep, it's very odd. I don't know how the status file gets into that state. It might be a bug in dpkg. dhcpcd wasn't the only package affected - I did see it on one other (can't remember which, now - I put cfengine code in place on our systems to spot this problem and sanitise the status file, so the evidence isn't there any more)
