Fortunately I can confirm that this bug is no longer present in Ubuntu
15.04's software-center 13.10-0ubuntu6, nor in the 14.04 LTS software-
center 13.10-0ubuntu4. So someone must have fixed it somehow.

** Changed in: software-center (Ubuntu)
       Status: Invalid => Fix Released

Title:
  software-center mishandles the architecture-specific dependency
  qualifiers

Status in software-center package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Released

Bug description:
  Here is how to reproduce this bug:
   * Download http://fgouget.free.fr/bugs/testdep.tar.bz2
     This is a small archive that contains a set of test, empty, Debian 
     package files along with their source.
     (run ./build to rebuild them)

   * Install the testdep-same_1.0-1_amd64.deb package.

   * Then run: software-center testdep-same-arch_1.0-1_i386.deb

  Software Center will then refuse to install the package with the
  following error:

      Dependency is not satisfiable: testdep-same

  Yet testdep-same-arch has 'testdep-same:amd64' as its sole dependency
  so the installed amd64 testdep-same package should satisfy it. Running
  dpkg confirms this:

  $ sudo dpkg -i testdep-same-arch_1.0-1_i386.deb 
  Selecting previously unselected package testdep-same-arch.
  (Reading database ... 214863 files and directories currently installed.)
  Unpacking testdep-same-arch (from testdep-same-arch_1.0-1_i386.deb) ...
  Setting up testdep-same-arch (1.0-1) ...

  Finally, note that support for this type of dependency qualifier has
  been added in dpkg 1.16.5 (so before the Debian 7 release). For more
  details see:

  * Bug #676232: dpkg: Please add support for specific arch qualifiers (cross-dependencies)
    http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=676232

  * dpkg commit 7acf7afa581457bc2e9bd6cd1f442e6f45c1db29

    Add support for specific arch-qualified dependencies
      
    This allows to use dependencies with arch-qualified package names. For
    example:

      Depends: libc6:amd64 (>= 2.14), libgcc1

    Closes: #676232
