At least I can confirm that another system also running testing +
selected packages from unstable does not show the said problem. So for
the moment only a single machine is affected by the issue. However,
APT_CONFIG=/dev/null make dist
does not change anything.

The thing is: The Debian Med tasks files have 'classic' format but
without specifying the Format line d/control remains empty.
Kind regards
