Hmm, no, never mind, I think it might be this change:
r2183 | joeyh | 2006-12-20 18:53:36 +0000 (Wed, 20 Dec 2006) | 4 lines
* Add need_tty field to frontend objects. dpkg-preconfigure can test
this if it fails to reopen /dev/tty, and avoid dying if the frontend
doesn't care about the tty, as happens in g-i when preconfiguring using
the passthrough frontend. Closes: #401876
I think the bug here is that debconf selects the Teletype frontend for you; it should really select Noninteractive instead.
I still think something else must have changed in your environment on July 17th, since this change has been in debconf since before 7.04, but never mind ...
