In consultation with Scott Lavender, I've worked around this as follows:
tasksel (2.88ubuntu2) natty; urgency=low
* Update Ubuntu tasks from seeds, adjusting ubuntustudio-audio-plugins'
short description to work around LP #690560. Thanks, Scott Lavender.

The fact that things break when you include a comma in a short task description is still a tasksel bug, so I'm leaving this bug open for that, but it's not urgent.
