I think it's a pretty interesting idea, especially for older machines
where even just starting python and loading the standard library will
take a fraction of a second, regardless of what bzr does.

The security issue could be fixed by making a unix domain socket.  We
could multiplex stdout and stderr across it.

There are at least two other approaches to avoid python startup.  One
is to keep it running in a gui (e.g. meld, or something specific to
bzr), and another is to have a bzr shell, as hct did.
