Thanks for your report - I managed to reproduce the bug.
However, you mentioned that the bug does not occur on all repos; could
you please specify a repository for which removing and readding it does
not cause problems? Thanks!
** Package changed: apt (Ubuntu) => software-properties (Ubuntu)

Title:
Readding repo using apt-add-repository can cause invalid repo line
Status in “software-properties” package in Ubuntu:
Incomplete
Bug description:
Removing and readding a PPA can cause invalid repository lines. This
doesn't seem to be the case with all repositories, but I've reproduced
it consistently with the below steps.
Steps to reproduce.
1) apt-add-repository ppa:mythbuntu/0.25
2) apt-add-repository --remove ppa:mythbuntu/0.25
3) apt-add-repository ppa:mythbuntu/0.25
Expected result: repository .list file contains
deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/mythbuntu/0.25/ubuntu oneiric main
deb-src http://ppa.launchpad.net/mythbuntu/0.25/ubuntu oneiric main
Actual result: repository .list file contains
deb-src http://ppa.launchpad.net/mythbuntu/0.25/ubuntu oneiric main
src http://ppa.launchpad.net/mythbuntu/0.25/ubuntu oneiric main
This causes apt to fail with an invalid line error.
