(sorry for the late post, my newborn twins need a lot of care :)

I'am afraid there are serious consequences of the patch (as
others have pointed out too). It deserves a decision of the people
familiar with the Bazaar source code and design. I am not involved in  
the Bazaar
development process and (please do not be iritated) I don't
want to be.

I just wanted to point out the solution for
people who want a quick&dirty hack for this...
