That was already mentioned in the original bug report's footer, yes.
Otherwise I would have asked. :-)

Yes, I've checked that, too.

That's also why I mentioned them: These cases don't apply and hence
it's NOT one of the two common cases, where it's more obvious (albeit
not necessarily good) that this happens.

[I removed the additional details, but they might come in handy later,
so thanks!]

Actually that would be interesting, as I have a vague idea how it
might have been triggered and would like to experiment a bit if I can
find a simpler reproducer.

BTW, do I remember right that you have APT::Install-Recommends set
"false"?
