Hi, OK, so I think I found a bug in sbuild's configure handling. Can you try the following patch for /usr/bin/sbuild and see whether this improves inhibiting interaction between sbuild and apt-stuff in the host environment? I hope you still have apt-listbugs et al. installed and are in a position to test this.
