Well, I'd prefer the other way round because my Bazaar history is
richer than the SVN's.  Unfortunately, this results in a "not
implemented" error.

I only experience this with checkouts from the SVN.  If I try to
merge the SVN into a Bazaar branch or vice versa, it works (with
thousands of conflicts though).  Unfortunately, if I try to push the
result (all conflicts resolved with "revert .") back onto the SVN
repo, I get a traceback:

    SubversionException: ("File '/bobcat/trunk/src/bobcat.py' already exists", 175005)

Tschö,
Torsten.
