Did you ever commit to bzr.dev-trunk?  It seems like you committed a
revision called "kfogel at red-bean.com-20090108210552-4cv8mvc6sv0gdbn1".

You then generated a merge directive against your local mirror, which
was no longer a genuine mirror.  Since the included bundle assumes the
recipient has a copy of
kfogel at red-bean.com-20090108210552-4cv8mvc6sv0gdbn1, the recipient must
have a copy of your local mirror in order to merge your changes.

You should only ever pull into a local mirror, not commit.

The steps you listed were sane, but you should also set the
"public_branch" config value of bzr.dev-trunk to
"http://bazaar-vcs.org/bzr/bzr.dev", e.g.

$ echo "public_branch = http://bazaar-vcs.org/bzr/bzr.dev" >>
  bzr.dev-trunk/.bzr/branch/config

If I'm right that you committed into your local mirror, that's not sane.
 (But you can fix it with "bzr pull --overwrite -d bzr.dev-trunk")
