It's not just about .disabled files, it also affects any manually
modified configuration files (resulting in e.g. *.dpkg-dist) - files
that shouldn't be considered at all.
A file like:
# cat /etc/apt/apt.conf.d/10fsckup.dpkg-dist
DPkg::Pre-Install-Pkgs {"false || exit 10";};
is (wrongly) being considered and used by apt 0.7.25.1.
The breakage happend between 0.7.25 and 0.7.25.1., though as
Francesco already pointed out there's nothing about that in the
docs/changelog/....
