From reading debian-devel is the last few days it was mentioned that
there were changes to where bug info was comming from. Don armstrong who
maintains the debbugs packages, which is the bts software, has a
modified version of the bts on his own site. So it maybe that this is a
result of the changeover from his site to the new 'official' version on
debian.org that is now affecting the apt-listbugs packages.

Until the problem goes away for you, I'd remove apt-listbugs. Although
from what I've read the servers are fixed.
If this happens again just remove apt-listbugs for a week, otherwise
APT itself will become pretty unusable (Unless you can disable it? I'm
not sure how one would go about doing this though)

I said unusable, not unstable ;P
It wouldn't cancel for me, everytime I Ctrl+C'd to try to maybe cancel
the bug retrieving it cancelled the entire install process. I had to
purge it to get APT installing packages again.

I would guess moving /etc/apt/apt.conf.d/10apt-listbugs would stop it
from running, but I could be wrong.
