Appears OK until apt-get upgrade.  For example;

root@joule:~# apt-get upgrade
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree

0 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 0 not upgraded.

root@joule:/# dpkg -l openssl

ii  openssl        1.0.1e-2+deb i386         Secure Socket Layer (SSL) binary

Whereas a newer deb file certainly is available locally.

root@joule:/# ls /var/cache/apt/archives/open*
/var/cache/apt/archives/openssl_1.0.1k-3_i386.deb

I've found no mention of sources in any apt-offline documentation.  
For "apt-offline set ..." and "apt-offline get ..." sources.list should 
refer to a networked source.  For "apt-offline install ..." sources.list 
should refer to the local files in isolated:/var/cache/apt/archives/.
No mention of this in the manual.
