Aha, I think I have it. apt-setup-verify needs this change:

Index: apt-setup-verify
===================================================================
--- apt-setup-verify	(revision 34779)
+++ apt-setup-verify	(working copy)

 	echo "$line" > $ROOT$tmp
 	
 	if $chroot $ROOT apt-get -o APT::Get::List-Cleanup=false \
+		-o Acquire::gpgv::Options::=--ignore-time-conflict \
 		-o Dir::Etc::sourcelist=$tmp update
 	then
 		rm -f $ROOT$tmp

Could one of you check if this solves the problem? 

(Still not sure why this would make apt re-download Release.gpg later..
maybe it deletes it when it fails to validate.)
