I'm curious to hear whether any of what appears in the log rings any
bell for Simon.

Which is where I suspect the real issue is.

Personally, I already find it suspicious that the tracker tells me
about unrelated packages' transitions or issues. If the problem is in
someone else's code, while mine hasn't changed in ages, that's where
the bug report needs to go. In this case, dhcpcd's autopkgtest hasn't
changed in ages, and has been verified to work as-is at Ubuntu, where
isolation machines were implemented a long time before Debian.
