I managed to fix this by manually hacking my .bzr/inventory to remove  
all segments like 'parent_id="TREE_ROOT[^"]*"' and remove the id for  
the inventory itself.  That seems to fix it.  Oddly, I didn't have to  
fix inventory.weave -- is that unused or will I have a nasty surprise  
waiting for me soon? :)

Probably 'bzr upgrade' or 'bzr check' should remove the TREE_ROOT ids  
if we aren't using them anymore.
