Technically yes, this was introduced in 0.6.8.1-1 by the fix for #680333 (a similar bug which has much greater impact). Do upgrade. Directly, this only concerns “Reconfigure package” action in the interactive interface, though aptitude is also affected by the presence of #686346 in all recent versions of apt (it was not specifically introduced by 0.9.7.4). To be hit by either bug a system must be in the (rare?) situation of having installed a package with no architecture. See the original report.
