Can you still reproduce this issue on bookworm? I tried with
$ ansible -m apt -a 'update_cache=yes' localhost -K --become
$ ansible -m apt -a 'name=0ad state=absent' localhost -K --become

and both command ran through without issue, despite having several deb822-style 
files in /etc/apt/sources.list.d/*.sources

It seems as though the ansible apt module uses python3-apt, and there the 
feature was enabled in:

python-apt (2.5.3) unstable; urgency=medium

  [ Nick Rosbrook ]
  * deb822: allow initializing a Deb822SourceEntry from string
  * all: fix PEP8 formatting
  * .gitlab-ci.yml: update typing stage to use venv
