Latest xserver-xfree86 not installable due to bad configlet



I was doing my regular upgrade today and couldn't upgrade
xserver-xfree86:

Setting up xserver-xfree86 (4.3.0.dfsg.1-8) ...
start_configlet: configlet in path /usr/share/configlets/localeconf is bad
start_configlet: configlet in path /usr/share/configlets/xserver-common is bad
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/etc/configlet.d/configlet-frontends", line 314, in ?
    save_configlet_list()
  File "/etc/configlet.d/configlet-frontends", line 183, in save_configlet_list
    configlet_list_file = open(configlet_list_filename, "w")
IOError: [Errno 2] No such file or directory: '/var/cache/configlet-frontends/configlet-capplet.list'

This looks like http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=263076,
but there's nothing in the bug report that suggests a workaround or fix.

I'm a little nervous about ending my X session in case it can't be
restarted. Any suggestions?
