This is an apt ordering bug. The amd64 version of libsasl2-2 and libsasl2-modules must be unpacked first before trying to unpack the i386 version.

From the attachments to your bug report, it looks like this issue was encountered because you have flashplugin-installer on your system, which gets transitioned to an i386 package between alpha and beta, explaining why new multiarch library packages are being pulled in.
