From the changelog, there are chances that this:
[ Martin Pitt ]
* apt-pkg/deb/debindexfile.cc:
- Use FileFd::Size() instead of stat()ing the sources/binary/translations
indexes directly, so that we have transparent handling of gzipped
indexes.
* apt-pkg/contrib/fileutl.cc:
- Fix FileFd::Size() for gzipped files to give the size of the
uncompressed data. This fixes cache building progress going way
over 100%.
...is involved in the regression.
I may be wrong, of course, as this is kinda wild guess...
