Holy moley that's a big chunk.  I've got it to 8MB (roughly) and it works
fine with my combined stable+unstable lists.

I think your problem might be that you're putting it in the wrong file. 
There's an /etc/apt/apt.conf.d directory where these sorts of things go now. 
I've got my Cache-Limit statement in /etc/apt/apt.conf.d/00Cache file, and
it fixed the problem nicely.  Your format, BTW, is perfect, so the problem
isn't there.
