Bingo! Check the docs for ExtUtils::AutoInstall:

[SNIP]

I really, really detest all the various autoinstallers.

I'd report the use of AutoInstall as a bug for the module that is failing.

Ok, I'm not sure if I understand all of what's going on, but point is, I did try to install another module, selected more or less randomly, and it went flawlessly. So... how fun! I was just unfortunate with that particular module... Time to ask the admins a favour! ;-)
