Weird. In theory, there is an extra check to detect incompletely
downloaded files, so apt-cacher should stop, close the connection and
remove the broken file from the cache.

Not really, 353152 was about the file updates in the cleanup run.

Could you check the error.log file please? Any serious issues reported
(file corruption etc.). If you have enough disk space, consider enabling
debugging (debug=1 in apt-cacher.conf) and if this happens again -
report it.
I saw in your second message that you removed the broken file, that is
just too bad since locating the problem is a bit complicated now.
