As Lalo mentioned, the colon is deprecated, and only works for numbers.
With the '..' notation you can supply different types of revisions, such as:

bzr diff -r 1..revid:john at arbash-meinel.com--blah.de.blah.deblah
bzr log -r date:+yesterday..date:-tomorrow

(The syntax for the date code is a little bit odd, but the above would
print out all the changes from yesterday through today, up until just
before tomorrow).
