If the cause of the crash is an invalid cache file, then this is still a valid bug. Maybe it should just be fixed elsewhere. I see two possible places: 1: The root cause is that the cache file has become corrupt -- so whatever made it corrupt should be fixed. 2: There should be some functionality (either manually or automatically) to clear the cache so that the crash does not occur. Appearently there were no way for the user to clear the cache and thus stop apt from crashing. apt-get clean did not do the trick.
