I think autopkgtest is working as expected. You asked to pin
src:nftables from -proposed, autopkgtest did that, even if this causes
dependency resolution issues. In the specific case you also need to add
src:libnftnl to the pinned packages.

Normally when this problem happens, autopkgtest re-tries to install the
test dependencies dropping the strict pinning, i.e. by testing with all
-proposed. In this case this isn't happening because it is not
autopkgtest installing those dependencies, but it's the test itself, so
there is no "all-proposed fallback" and also the error message is a bit
obscure. [Ideally test dependencies should be declared in d/t/control
and installed by autopkgtest, and not by the test scripts.]

In the future autopkgtest will somehow use the new apt solver3, but we
are not there yet.

I don't think https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=1088971
is related to this in any way.

Does this fit your understanding of the problem?

  In this test for example[1], where nftables is a trigger, we see:

  I think this is because of upstream's apt pinning for the "mkosi"
  archive that gets copied into images, but further investigation is
  needed.
