No, the behavior is the same as the bug you mean but is not the same, 
this is not a fresh install, is an ugraded Utopic working from August 
(no unusual things installed, just a base system). I run the testcase 
you suggested, apt-cache return:
apport:
   Installed: 2.15.1-0ubuntu4
   Candidate: 2.15.1-0ubuntu4
   Version table:
  *** 2.15.1-0ubuntu4 0
         100 /var/lib/dpkg/status
and when I run apport it return that the pkg is not original (I backed 
up the /var/apt/lib/lists/ if needed).
