Attached is a trivial patch [in retrospective] I just committed upstream which should fix this issue – I have only verified it by logchecking with the two status files from the buglog (again: thanks!) through, I haven't actually run it on a real system so testers welcome!
That should be easily backportable into 2011 (= the time this regression was introduced) even if the surrounding code changed a bit over time. Could potentially also be worked around with strategic duplication of Pre-Depends in Depends. So, what going on? apt doesn't check if Pre-Depends are satisfied before configuring but that is actually hard to trigger as apt does check them for unpack and the window between unpack and configure is usually very small as apt is actively trying to have it very small (compare immediate configuration) so all my attempts at constructing a testcase for it failed so far…
