Actually, 0.8.2 and bzr.dev both support having a file change without a
commit. They just don't support having a file-id change type.

So just doing:

% bzr rm printcap
% bzr add printcap
% bzr commit -m "printcap became a file"

I did a test of this with both, and they both passed.
bzr diff does:
=== removed symlink 'lnk'
=== target was 'foo'
=== added file 'lnk'
--- /dev/null
+++ lnk
@@ -0,0 +1,1 @@
+foo
