I can reproduce this in Debian 7.2, like this:
[1] $ sudo apt-get update
[ lots of output ]
[2] $ /usr/lib/update-notifier/apt-check;echo
0;0
[3] $ sudo touch /etc/apt/sources.list.d/foo.list
[4] $ sudo chmod 600 /etc/apt/sources.list.d/foo.list
[5] $ /usr/lib/update-notifier/apt-c
Hi I came across this bug lately and found what was causing it.
Apparently the python script is run as the current user and needs to
be able to read some of the files at /etc/apt. In my case was that I
added apt pining in /etc/apt/preferences.d/default.pref and some extra
repositories in /etc/apt/

apt_check seems to be broken.
Repeating messages in /var/log/messages rang a bell :
