Yup. It's definitively the problem of apt-0.5.5 from CVS. It's buggy. If I
try to get with apt-0.5.4 everything's fine. If I get the same with
apt-0.5.5 it bails out. The 0.5.5 debs below are fresh from cvs, only
thing I did is replace:
#APT_UTILS=ftparchive sortpkgs extracttemplates
APT_UTILS=sortpkgs extracttemplates
to remove ftparchive from the packages to build, since I don't have db2
but db3. The 0.5.4 debs are from a debian mirror.

If you want to debug and test yourself, you can enter the following line
into /etc/apt/sources.list:
deb http://sourcepole.ch/sources/software/debian/ ./
since I was traversing the whole world forward and back in my quest
to find the bug I'll maybe change that back to my original setup:
deb http://sourcepole.ch/sources/software/debian sid main
If you want to have a minimal index file that displays that behaveour, you
can fetch Packages.gz from above and just leave inside 3 Packages: apt,
dummypkg and any other, in that order.
Other than that apt-https seems to work well. Since apt-0.5.5 seems to be
broken - should I send you a patch against 0.5.4 or against 0.5.5
(allthough the chages were minimal between the two as far as I had seen)?
