The two related bugs in the BTS seem to be about "experimental" versions
of flashplugin-nonfree. Which version are you trying to install? Version
9.0.48.0.2 works fine on my Sid/amd64 system, without any need for a
32bit chroot.

This statement is a bit confusing. Did you install flashplayer in a
32bit chroot or not?
I think we might have a misunderstanding here: The nspluginwrapper
package provides a means to run i386 plugins on other architectures
without having to install a 32bit chroot on your system. If you use a
32bit chroot to run i386 binaries then you have to set up the chroot
yourself first and then you can install the i386 debs in it. This used
to be necessary for the flash-plugin on amd64, but now it is not
required anymore.

I see the same on my system, so I think this should be OK.

No, the dependency is satisfied because util-linux provides linux32:
$ apt-cache show util-linux | grep Provides
Provides: schedutils, linux32
