If the metadata is correctly signed then it sounds like it should be a
server-side problem. OTOH  no-one else is mentioning it, are you
running portsnap from a reasonably recent release?

It might be instructive to edit portsnap, look for the places where
fetch_metadata_freakout is called and have it make a copy of the
offending file.
