Well, with a newer revision of bzr.dev:
 1675 Canonical.com Patch Queue Manager 2006-04-20
      (mbp) #36963, #3619, #39657, other cleanups

It now gives a different error at the time of checkout:
$ bzr checkout
bzr: ERROR: struct.error: unpack str size does not match format
  at /home/jameinel/dev/bzr/bzr.dev/bzrlib/tuned_gzip.py line 143
  in _read_eof

The tarball is quite a bit bigger (I assume because everything is
gzipped, and thus bz2 can't do as well) but you can get it here:
http://src.i-clic.uihc.uiowa.edu/bzr/mifar-repo-knit.tar.bz2

So to be clear, I can branch into a repository that does not contain
working trees. And I can upgrade an existing branch. But when I go to
create a working tree, it causes the above error. (If you want, I can
attach the traceback).
