The branch format 1.6 is identical to the *branch* format 1.9. The
problem is that "bzr info" is giving you the summary of all formats
(repo + branch), which can combine in various ways.
The reason we give "unknown" is because a pack-0.92 branch format with a
1.9 format repository doesn't have a simple combined format name.
