For what it's worth, I've seen this happen not infrequently using
apt-mirror to take entire local copies of repositories as well.
Whether it's due to a bug in the metadata generation or some other
unsynchronized change between packages and the release files, I think
it's actually a repo problem. Simply waiting a while or using another
upstream repo has fixed it for me in an emergency, but that's unlikely
to be practical for you I guess.
