This is a bug that needs fixing in both bzr and bzr-svn; the bzr-svn
side of it has been fixed, the bzr bit is in progress
(http://bundlebuggy.aaronbentley.com/project/bzr/request/%
3C1236270730.1559.10.camel%40charis.vernstok.nl%3E). As a workaround,
you can use the svn-push command.

Please file a bug report about this and how to reproduce it.

I'm not sure I understand what you mean? What operation of bzr-svn in
this situation is problematic here?
