You're running a fairly old version of bzr (the current version is 1.5, with a
1.6beta2 available)

I would highly recommend upgrading. Though typically this sort of error is
caused when the client is newer than the server. And I don't see a reason why
the LP server would be triggering this.


Specifically, it is sending a request that the server doesn't recognize, and
then the server continues operating on the rest of the request as though it
understood it. Which obviously breaks because it doesn't properly parse the request.

I wonder if this is the change Robert introduced to remove a RPC call that we
weren't going to use going forward. We figured that older clients would revert
back to the code path before the RPC was introduced, and newer clients would
never call it. But it seems we might have a version out there that was broken
"in the middle". It makes the RPC request, but the server fails on it.

All of this is generally fixed in newer versions. But we may need to address
this problem on the server side.
