If I was guessing, I would say that you are using plink (putty) and it
is failing to get a response from you. (It is trying to verify that you
want to connect to this host.) It is a known limitation of plink that it
can't seem to get direct access to the terminal.

I think if you do a direct connection (without bzr) then it can cache
the server's host key, and allow you to connect without asking again.

Alternatively, you can use something like:

set BZR_SSH=paramiko
bzr push ...

Which will use the "paramiko" implementation rather than plink. And that
*can* prompt you for password, as well as use your saved keys from Pageant.
