I just had this problem.  In my case, the server's IP address had changed.  I
had done bzr operations while it had the old IP address so the host key had been
cached with a different IP address.  When I tried my first bzr sftp operation
after the IP address change, Bazaar/Paramiko -- I'm not sure whose responsiblity
it is -- tried to cache the same host key with a different IP address and failed.

The workaround is to move aside or edit C:\Documents and
Settings\<username>\Application Data\bazaar\2.0\ssh_host_keys.
