Should this error be worrying?

This probably indicates a change to their http server software so that
it's either not complying with the spec, or using the spec in a way
that doesn't work with our http client.  (The relevant bit being
http://www.w3.org/Protocols/rfc2616/rfc2616-sec10.html#sec10.2.7).

Could you please report a bug against bzr, including the .bzr.log
traceback, and if you are able to capture it using eg wireshark or
tcpdump, the headers of the http response or the whole response.
