I've seen that one as well. It appears to especially occur often with
sourceforge repositories. I suspect it has to do with timeouts, but I'm
not sure (as sourceforge uses https only so I can't use wireshark).

That's actually a bzr bug (the escaping should happen in bzr's revision serializer), which I hope to fix properly soon.
