I've encountered the same issue for one of my uploads (for the boogie package).

Maybe you can add a note in the Piuparts News [1] to let people know that this is
a known Piuparts issue, and that you are working on it? After all, this is a
testing migration blocker, and it took me some time to figure out where this
problem came from and that I actually wasn't the one who caused it.

Thanks!
