Thanks fx5. After a bit more looking, I had come to the same conclusion and tried the dpkg install again (after editing /var/lib/dpkg/status), and the error repeated. It turned out to be a bad copy of dpkg_1.14.5ubuntu16_i386.deb in /var/cache/apt/archives. I downloaded a new copy and installed it, changed back /var/lib/dpkg/status, and things are moving along better now.

I guess I had jumped to my conclusion too quickly after seeing the similarities to the earlier posts.
