I have one machine, running WinXP, that I has this problem since bzr 1.3.  Non of the other machines that I deal with exhibit this problem.  Downgrading to bzr 1.2 resolves the issue for me.  I couldn't find any other references to such an error so I assumed it was an interaction with something else on the machine (Putty, plink, WinSCP, etc...).

I tried the self installer and python installer with both having the error.  I traced it a little bit before giving up and if memory serves I think it was giving up trying to figure out what method to use to make the ssh connection (for no apparent reason).
