Mark,
There is a bug report on this same issue on Launchpad; it has a bit of
background that may be informative:
https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/366293
Note that the Translation file that apt-get(8) attempts to download is
dependent on the current value of LANG. I have LANG="en_US.UTF-8", and
so apt-get attempts to download "Translation-en_US.bz2". If LANG="C",
i18n is disabled, so no Translation file is downloaded at all.

Because you seem to be based in the UK, I presume that you have
something like LANG="en_GB.UTF-8". The Ubuntu repositories (and possibly
the Debian ones as well) do show a Translation-en_GB{,.bz2,.gz} file,
so apt-get + apt-cacher would not present any error when attempting to
download that file. It is only when the file does not exist, as is the
case for en_US, that the bug appears.
