The bug lies in the interaction of both packages.

apt-listbugs, very sensibly, uses apt's configured http cache to try
to access the bts.

apt-cacher, very sensibly, refuses to serve such request.

The whole thing interacts badly with apt-listbugs' inability to parse
error responses (#245232) and to fail sensibly on the face of too many
errors (#259753)

A workaround is to use apt-cacher not in proxy mode, but by modifying 
sources.list
