Bad news: actually bzr officially don't supports win98.

Good news: because bzr mostly works on win98 and I personally sometimes
works on old machines with win98 installed, I'm working on improving
support for win98. And I know how to fix this problem.

Apparently I'm late with my changes for 0.14 release because I'm not finish
my patch yet.

Actually when installing bzr from python-based installer it creates
default bazaar.conf, but because of another win98-specific bug,
this configuration file is inaccessible on win98. Mea culpa.

I hope in next 2 weeks bzr will have good support of win98 for most basic things.
Stay in touch.
