It sounds quite possible that your remote lp:~barry/lazr-js/lazr-js had
a pipeline reference to a refactoring branch that you later deleted.
Trying to reuse your local lazr-js as part of a new pipeline meant that
bzr tried to open the remote pipeline.  But you had deleted other parts
of the remote pipeline, so the exception was raised.

No, I don't recommend checking out any sort of trunk branch as the first
pipe in the pipeline.  The first pipe in your pipeline should be the
first branch that you plan to commit to.

Your remote lp:~barry/lazr-js/lazr-js branch is a copy of your local
482298-picker-batching branch.

      Implement the simplified batching API, along with a test and
documentation.

  146 Barry Warsaw	2009-11-13
      Implement an optional simplified batching API for the common case.
 Test and
      code implemented; now I have to the documentation example.

My best guess is that at some point when you were in your
482298-picker-batching branch pipe, you pushed or sync-pipelined to
lp:~barry/lazr-js/lazr-js
