Sorry, see below.

No explicit error, just this erroneous behaviour which caused this
source to get the default priority instead of the requested 995.
Before reporting the bug, I had changed back to 10M, touched the
Packages file for the mozilla mirror, updated (no error), and checked
the 995 was still ignored; then back to 100M, touch, updated, and that
works.

I finally noticed that when commenting out a random entry from my
sources.list then it started to work. The idea to raise cache size
was from doogie.

The default was not sufficient for my original source list, I had to
raise the value to allow cache building (update was failing on error
otherwise).
If I can give any useful debug info...
BTW, that happens on 0.5.4 (woody) as well
