But what?

The Bazaar-NG comes from the format strings that describe the various formats. 
I imagine that they started with the -NG and for consistency's sake they have
persisted in that way.

As for why it prints as an error, it uses the normal Bazaar exception structure,
which seems to take care of printing the "bzr: ERROR: " part (probably inherited
from StandardError).  It should be fixable but...
