Not yet. I have another off-BTS report where the problem seems to be reproducible, and it all indicates a problem where the responses from the mirror server are assigned to wrong file items (internal file descriptor objects) during the download. IMHO the package files you mentioned are similarly named because they have been in the pipeline at the same time when the problem occured (AFAICS apt sorts them in alphabetical order). Unfortunatelly the download flow code is also a little mess and needs a (carefully done) overhaul which may take some time... and I could not reproduce the problem here so far.
