This bug issue also affected me -- thanks so much for posting the fix.

I had the same pinning levels as Andy, except I had the file

/etc/apt/preferences.d/99-proposed

with the same contents as Andy's file.

Once I removed that file (which had a creation date of Sept 12 - 2012)

rm /etc/apt-preferences.d/99-proposed

then things worked after I did a

apt-get dist-upgrade
