I can confirm this problem. I saw it when attempting to install the package 'latex2html', and my status box (if I un-tick the 'automatically close' option) shows me:
dpkg: parse error, in file `/var/lib/dpkg/status' near line 36215 package `python-qt3': `Suggests' field, syntax error after reference to package `python' E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (2) A package failed to install.
