That has already been fixed in the bzr.newformat branch.

And actually you could, if you were removing another file that did 
exist. So this should work:

bzr init
touch a b
bzr add a b
rm b
bzr remove a b

The issue was bzr was getting the path from the first object, and 
expecting it to exist (so that it can determine what working directory 
you are referencing).

The latest bzr.newformat code doesn't require it to exist, it just keeps 
searching parent directories even if some paths are missing.
