Is it still that way with the latest bzr.dev? I cleaned up a lot of that
in a semi-recent patch. (I think around the time we went from 0.7 => 0.8
format bundles.)

I just did a test and it seemed to work. There seem to still be a couple
bugs if you remove the last newline (There is a place where I'm not
checking if _next_line is None).

But yes, one goal is to make it clearer when we do/don't have hunks left
to read. If we switch to one big base64 + bzip2 hunk at the bottom, this
is reasonably easy.
