So the specific problem is that when you create a checkout it is binding
the checkout to the master branch, such that committing in one, actually
commits to the other one.

And if they are sharing a repository, that causes problems because both
of them want to grab a write lock.

I can see this as a bug, but also have to wonder why you are doing it.
It would seem that if you are creating a 'repo/main' => 'repo/bug' you
really want 'bzr branch' not 'bzr checkout'.

Can you explain what you are trying to do?
