The problem seems to be that pbuilder finds out which components to use from the $COMPONENTS var defined in pbuilderrc.
Therefore, if pbuilderrc contains restricted|universe|multiverse, the Debian pbuilder creation will fail.
I don't see any good fix for this, as there is no way to specify which components to use via the command line. This is a bug, reported as http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=422371

So, the workaround for now is to set $COMPONENTS to main only in pbuilderrc.
