Ah, I can confirm that the software-properties dialog lists this mirror.
It's shown as "Last update unknown" on
https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+archivemirrors, but this doesn't seem to
prevent it from being included in the search list.  This may be a bug in
the mirror list, which ought to prune mirrors that aren't up to date.
python-apt hasn't been updated for a while anyway though, so fixing the
list on the website wouldn't have helped.  I think we need to regard
this as a bug in software-properties; "Select Best Server" shouldn't
give you a mirror that's demonstrably out of date.
