I doubt it is because of your using "." in the mv command, as that is a
perfectly valid operation.
My first guess is that bzr is having a problem with a renamed file in
the inventory, and then trying to do a partial commit for a different file.

You might also try changing directory into the root, and just running
"bzr status" so that you get a complete picture, rather than just a
partial one.
