Or even worse, a circular situation where the content of .bzrrules  
actually requires some setting in .bzrrules :-)

It would seem fair that .bzrrules would be special file whose content  
could be retrieved right away, wouldn't it?

The end of the help on 'content-filters' talks about refreshing your  
working tree. If you delete a file and then revert, the replacement  
will have the filters applied.

I like your idea of 'update', but maybe it should be on  
'reconfigure'.  Perhaps something like:

	bzr reconfigure --apply-rules
