A workaround for me appears to be to add experimental to the
@official_suites array:

my @official_suites = qw(oldstable stable proposed-updates testing unstable 
experimental);

After doing that and running apt-show-versions, the issue seems to have
gone away, hmmmm!

Or maybe the daily cron run happened. I wonder if this is because there
is no apt hook to update the cache and so the cache gets out of sync
with apt stuff? Perhaps apt-show-versions should add a file
in /etc/apt/apt.conf.d/ that would tell apt to run apt-show-versions -i
from the APT::Update::Post-Invoke or APT::Update::Post-Invoke-Success
hook. Or maybe apt-show-versions shouldn't have its own cache?
