Strangely I had tested something that was almost identical and had it fail. Oh well, it was late at night and I guess I messed up my tests.

Apt pinning is one of my favorite debian features, I had done many exotic configurations with it along the way, and they all worked as expected. For apt pinning work pulling the packages from testing preferentially you have to set unstable priority 100~150. http://www.debian.org/doc/manuals/apt-howto/ch-apt-get.en.html I have a workstation with lenny and I only pull packages from unstable that are not available in testing yet.
