APT deities (by the manifestation of David Kalnischkies) told me that:

  "629449 you can probably close. apt < 1.1 had this behaviour, >= 1.1
  should still cry loudly about the one broken repo, but update the
  others just fine"

So I guess that this is a satisfactory resolution, closing now.

Please reopen if you still experience a problem related with this.


Cheers.
