Thanks for your bug report. This seems to be related to the current
version of dose3 in sid being compiled against camlzip 1.06. When I 
recompile on my machine against camlzip 1.07 it works fine.

I'll launch a recompilation. In the meantime you can always do
something like

zcat Packages.gz | dose-distcheck --failures --explain
