OK, I just read that the semicolon is needed. The bad thing is that APT happily accepts such an input. APT2 does this too, but it will probably be easier to fix than APT.

It uses the append to list syntax. Although only documented for usage in
command-line options, it's used in normal configuration files as
well. It also used in the output of "apt-config dump" and
"cupt config-dump" (which misses trailing semicolons in order to
be a configuration file itself).
There were quite a few people who got this wrong and even wrote
stuff like
DPkg::Pre-Install-Pkgs:: {"/usr/sbin/dpkg-preconfigure --apt";};
which basically means DPkg::Pre-Install-Pkgs::::.
