It's reproducible on a fresh installation as well as on an up to date oneiric system. Setting to triage/medium and targeting to Oneiric.

I also noticed when selecting one of this "not installed" package and clicking on "More info" s-c displays a 'Not found' page.

On a side note, I filed bug 800613 against Unity which also displays some of the applications as available for installation but are not. So that's probably something to do with the indexer.
