Looks like I replied to the wrong thread earlier.

This bug is related:

  https://bugs.launchpad.net/bzr-bookmarks/+bug/254936

Basically, the bookmarks plugin can work, but only for one 
project at a time.  It uses a global namespace for bookmark 
names, instead of per-repository, so the bookmark names end up 
being significantly longer than they would be in git or hg.

And for some reason, it doesn't always resolve names without a 
'bm:' prefix.  So, instead of 'hg push foo' it ends up being 'bzr 
push bm:myproject-foo'.
