I clearly made a mistake in reading the instructions. That doesn't change the fact that Emdebian packages are getting installed that I never selected.
So far this is what I've accomplished:
I've removed the Emdebian repos from sources.list
I manually selected the Debian version of the affected packages. It seemed to go well:
# apt-get install libxcb1=1.8.1-2+deb7u1 libxcb1:i386=1.8.1-2+deb7u1 libxcb1-dev=1.8.1-2+deb7u1 gnome-panel=3.4.2.1-4 gnome-bluetooth=3.4.2-1

libxcb1 is already the newest version.
libxcb1 set to manually installed.
Suggested packages:
libxcb-doc
The following packages will be DOWNGRADED:

I haven't a clue why it still wants to install Emdebian packages or where it thinks it's getting them from.
Is there some cached data that needs to be cleared up?

Emdebian Grip has nothing to do with cross-compilers. You need to use
the toolchain repository, not grip.

The toolchains depend on a single package from Squeeze to provide the

That's a toolchain issue, nothing to do with Grip.
Cross compilers from Emdebian for Wheezy do need packages from Squeeze
and the cross-compilers for newer releases are currently broken.

Remove the Grip apt source, it has nothing to do with cross-compiling
stuff.
Then just update again.
You've confused Grip with toolchains - they are *not* the same.
