That's what I also suspect, something wrong with the pinning.
A normal at-get/aptitude dist-upgrade here never want to install the udev
from backports. Beside the fact that safe-upgrade and full-upgrade are
the recommended command options nowadays.
I can only reproduce this whole behaviour here, if I do a explicit
'aptitude -t wheezy-backports install udev -s'.
