looking at the source, i think i see the problem:

the file is being queued twice by some broken login in the
acquire-item.cc code. if you look in the function
pkgAcqDiffIndex::ParseDiffIndex()
you'll find:
// no information how to get the patches, bail out
if(!found)
{
if(Debug)
std::clog << "Can't find a patch in the index file" <<
std::endl;
// Failed will queue a big package file
Failed("", NULL);
}
which would make sense, *except*, later on it will return false.
outside in the calling function pkgAcqDiffIndex::Done(), we have
if(!ParseDiffIndex(DestFile))
return Failed("", NULL);
and Failed seems to queue a file each time it's called, and i'll bet you
the same file being queued twice in a row is the cause of all this
trouble, and probably also the wierd 0-byte type errors.
