Thanks for your report!
I think it is this fixed-in-unstable issue:
apt (0.9.4) unstable; urgency=low
[…]
* apt-pkg/aptconfiguration.cc:
- longcode Translation files are saved with encoded underscore,
so make sure to pick these files up as well for Acquire::Languages

Can you test this (or: better 0.9.5) version from unstable maybe?
(you need to upgrade the libapt-pkg4.12 package)
Otherwise the output of the two commands with the debug option
-o Debug::pkgCacheGen=1
could be helpful to know which file isn't picked up, as in
theory what you suggested is already in action.
