This case would normally be handled using branchy development. I suspect 
this sounds heavy weight to you, but this is what is involved in practice:

bzr init-repo --no-trees .
bzr branch upstreamurl trunk
bzr co --lightweight trunk working
cd working
bzr switch --create-branch featureA
hack
bzr commit
bzr switch --create-branch featureB
hack
bzr commit
bzr switch --create-branch integration
bzr merge ../featureA
test or whatever
bzr commit
bzr switch featureA
fix bug
bzr commit
bzr switch integration
bzr merge ..\featureA
bzr commit

All of these bzr operations should run fast for a large project except 
the initial branch and co (a few seconds for a switch, 1 second for 
local branch, etc.).
